Abstract
This preliminary report on criminal offenses and arrests during the period January through December 1999 contains data submitted by Municipal Police Departments, County Sheriff's Offices, Oregon State Police, and the Oregon Liquor Control Commission for both 1998 and 1999. Crime in Oregon (a total of 430,415 offenses) decreased 5.6 percent overall during 1999 when compared to 1998. Crimes increased in only five of the State's 36 counties. The number of bias crimes reported for 1999 increased 9.8 percent from the number reported for 1998. The document includes reported incidents by month, by type of crime, by type of prejudice, by county, number and description of victims, and number and description of offenders. Data on domestic disturbances, presented by county, were reported from 152 agencies covering 89.2 percent of Oregon's population for 1999. Statistics are presented for crime types that occurred in the context of a domestic incident, domestic restraining order violations and non-criminal domestic disturbances. Figures, tables
