FOREWORD
This publication is produced by the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Statistical Analysis Center. Itis intended to provide a basic understanding of Missouri's crime problems, their characteristics, andthe law enforcement actions being taken to address these.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol assumed management of Missouri’s Uniform Crime Report-ing (UCR) Program in 2001. It is the Program’s responsibility to collect, maintain, and ensure theintegrity of Missouri’s UCR crime statistics. In addition, the UCR Program is responsible for report-ing monthly crime statistics to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Uniform Crime Reporting Sec-tion. This report is produced annually to document crime activity reported to the program.
I encourage all criminal justice and other public officials to review this publication. If additionalresearch or statistical information services about Missouri's crime or traffic safety problems areneeded, please contact our agency's Statistical Analysis Center for assistance.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT
For the past several years, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR)Program and Statistical Analysis Center (SAC) have worked with a number of agencies to moveMissouri from a voluntary to a mandatory crime reporting system as mandated by RSMo 43.505.The Missouri Department of Public Safety led this initiative and their financial support to SAC andthe UCR Program is appreciated. The direction and efforts of Laurie Crawford and her staff of theUCR Program are instrumental to its success.
Missouri law enforcement agencies who submit crime and employment information to the UCRProgram play a critical role in development of this report. Their participation in the Program isindicative of their desire to improve Missouri’s law enforcement information capabilities.
Recognition also is given to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Uniform Crime Reporting Sec-tion and the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance for their guidance duringimplementation of the Missouri UCR Program. Over the past years, the U.S. Department of Justice,Bureau of Justice Statistics has supported, through grant funds, the Missouri SAC's efforts to pro-vide publications like Crime in Missouri and other information services to the Missouri criminaljustice community. Their financial support and technical assistance are appreciated.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Digest is produced annually by the Missouri State HighwayPatrol (MSHP), Statistical Analysis Center (SAC). In the past,the primary source of data was law enforcement agencies whovoluntarily submitted crime statistics to the Federal Bureau ofInvestigation's (FBI) Uniform Crime Reporting Program (UCR).Since only a small percentage of agencies submitted datadirectly to the FBI's UCR Program, the SAC relied on statisticalestimates to measure the extent of crime in Missouri. Beginningin 2001, Missouri's Uniform Crime Reporting Program (UCR)began operation. Statutorily, Missouri law enforcement agenciesare required to submit their crime statistics to Missouri's UCRProgram. Using these data, the SAC no longer has to rely onstatistical estimates. When comparing 2001 and later years’crime statistics to 2000 and prior years, users need to keep inmind two different statistical methods were employed to deriveMissouri's crime totals.
The Crime Index is the sum of eight major offenses and is usedto measure the magnitude of crime in the United States. Onlyeight major offenses are included in the Index because of theirfrequency of occurrence and the fact they are most likely to bereported to law enforcement agencies. These Index offensesare: murder, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, bur-glary, theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson. The first four makeup the Violent Crime Index and the last four make up the Prop-erty Crime Index.
In 2006, 256,529 Crime Index offenses were reported in theState of Missouri. In 2006, one Index Crime was committedevery 2.0 minutes. In 21.1 of every 100 Crime Index offenses,the cases were cleared by arrest or exceptional means.

In 47.8 of every 100 Violent Index offenses, the caseswere cleared by arrest or exceptional means. A brief analysis ofeach type of Violent Index offense is given below.
♦ 383 murders reported in 2006. While murder is themost serious Index offense, it made up only 0.1percent of the total 2006 Missouri Crime Index. Onemurder was committed every 22.9 hours. In 63.4 ofevery 100 murders, the cases were cleared by arrestor exceptional means.

The second section provides data related toCrime Index offenses committed in the State of Missouri. Itspurpose is to provide a comparison of the various types of CrimeIndex offenses so their relative importance can be assessed. Inaddition, Crime Index activity is displayed by geographicalregions of the State and also over time to observe trends. Thethird section presents data on arrest activity and clearance ratesassociated with Crime Index offenses as well as arrest activityassociated with other classes of criminal offenses. These dataprovide an appreciation of criminal enforcement activity beingperformed in the State by class of crime.

In 2001, state statute RSMo 43.505 was enactedrequiring Missouri law enforcement agencies to report their UCRcrime statistics to the Missouri UCR Program administered bythe Missouri State Highway Patrol.
Eight offenses make up theCrime Index. They are:
• Murder
• Rape
• Robbery
• Aggravated Assault
• Burglary
• Theft
• Motor Vehicle Theft

Introduction

Crime in Missouri, 2006
Increases in crime activity may reflect the transition from avoluntary to mandatory UCR Program. Care is warrantedwhen directly comparing crime statistics since 2001 toprevious years for this reason.
The national UCR Program was initiated in 1930 by the Commit-tee on Uniform Crime Reports of the International Association ofChiefs of Police (IACP). This committee developed uniformoffense and arrest classifications as well as reporting procedureswhich could be used by law enforcement agencies throughoutthe nation. The FBI was designated to administer the Programand became the national clearinghouse for UCR data. TheCommittee on Uniform Crime Reports of the IACP continues toserve the national Program in an advisory capacity. In 1966, theNational Sheriff's Association also established a Committee onUniform Crime Reports to act as an advisory body for this pro-gram and to promote reporting to the UCR Program.
Crime and arrest data are, for the most part, collected on amonthly basis by several methods in Missouri. The MissouriUCR Program provides report forms, tally sheets, and self-addressed envelopes to Missouri law enforcement agencies whocomplete and return them to the Program. Missouri city andcounty law enforcement agencies also have the option of report-ing their crime activity on a Web-based UCR reporting applica-tion while State law enforcement agencies utilize an electronicspreadsheet to report their monthly crime activity. Data from allMissouri law enforcement agencies are moved to a central datarepository maintained by the MSHP.
Data displays identifying specific political subdivision crime andarrest activity contain only activity reported to the UCR Program.It is important to note that statistics for a political subdivisioninclude not only crime and arrest activity reported by a local lawenforcement agency, but also crime and arrest activity reportedby state agencies (e.g., MSHP, Department of Conservation,Water Patrol). No effort has been made to estimate individuallaw enforcement agency's crime and arrest activity.
Slight discrepancies may be found if comparisons are made withFBI UCR publications and this Digest covering the same subjectmatter for the State of Missouri. Although similar, estimationroutines and rates per 100,000 population calculations for pre-2001 data used by the FBI are not the same as those in thisDigest. Discrepancies also may be noted when examining actualreported figures. This is a result of updates having been made toUCR files between the time the FBI data were processed and thetime the SAC analysis was performed. This report is merely asnap shot of crime summary data reported to the Missouri UCRProgram. Law enforcement agencies continually update their

1.0 MISSOURI CRIME CLOCK
The Missouri crime clocks summarize criminal activity in theState during 2006 in relation to time. From this perspective,an appreciation of the relative frequency of various criminaloffenses can be obtained. The clocks should be viewed withcare. They are designed to convey annual crime experienceby showing the relative frequency of occurrence of the indexoffenses. This mode of display should not be taken to implya regularity in the commission of crime. Rather they repre-sent the annual ratio of crime to fixed time intervals.
