Abstract
In the section of criminal justice trend data, statistics are presented for crimes, arrests, arrest dispositions, corrections populations, criminal justice personnel, and expenditures for the most recent 10 years (1982-1991). The section on current year data (1991) presents various data for each county in the State. Data on crimes encompass index crimes in the aggregate and by offense (homicide, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft, arson, and domestic assault). Arrest data address both adult and juvenile arrests by county, age, sex, and specific offense. Data are also presented for dispositions and adult probation. The appendix contains known data limitations and characteristics, a glossary of criminal justice terms used in the report, and lists of the penal and other statutory codes included in each of the felony and misdemeanor arrest offense categories. 33 tables
