Edwards EDA North Carolina Coordinator Sharpest Jump Yet Recorded in Crime Reported by FBI in First '67 Quarter According to figures made available this week through the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports and released by Attorney Gen eral Ramsey Clark, serious crime in the United States jumped 20 percent in the first three months of 1967 when compared with the same period in 1966. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover said this substantial upsurge in the Nation’s crime was reflected in all Crime Index offenses. Crimes of violence, as a group, recorded a 21 percent increase with murder up 23 percent, for cible rape 8 percent, robbery 32 percent, and aggravated assault 15 percent. The group of crimes against property rose 20 per cent, with burglary up 21 per cent, larceny $50 and over in value 18 percent, and auto theft 20 percent. According to the FBI Director, the group of cities with 100,000 or more inhabitants had an over all 20 percent increase. Crime in suburban communities rose 22 percent on the average, and the rural areas were up 16 percent. The effect of the Nation’s crime increase was felt in all geogra phic regions. Hoover noted that the regional trends were con sistent with the Western States up 21 percent, followed by the North Central and Southern States up 20 percent each, and the Northeastern States up 18 percent. All crime classifications recorded increases in the four geographical regions. In making these figures avail able, the FBI Director called at tention to the unusually sharp percentage increase in the crime of robbery. He stated ev ery city population group con tributed to this trend with the increases ranging from 20 per cent in cities having over one million population to 42 percent in the group of cities with 250, 000 to 500,000 populaton. Rob bery in the suburbs was up 37 percent and increased 22 per cent in the rural areas. Rob bery recorded substantial in creases in all geographic regions as well. Hoover cautioned that the 20 percent rise in serious crime in the United States for this three month period was the sharpest recorded since the publication of quarterly reports began in 1958. The FBI Director stated that a full explanation of the reasons for such sharp increases is difficult because the upward trend was distributed quite even ly in all geographic regions, large and small cities, suburban and rural areas. The fact re mains that these crime increases are real and the law enforce ment machinery needs the full support of government and citi zens alike. in
