1980……............... 23 421979……............... 20 251978……............... 7 7Source: Offender-Based Transaction Statistics, California Department of Justice (initial sentences) and California Appellate Project (total persons under sentence of death). 1 Total persons under sentence of death on December 31 of each year. Persons with multiple California death sentences are counted once. 2 The increase in the total number of persons under sentence of death from year-to-year will not equal the number of initial sentences reported each year. This is because, in addition to initial sentences, persons may be resentenced to death, no longer under sentence of death because of execution or death by other causes, removed pending retrial, resentenced to a penalty less than death, or freed.

Appendix 1Data Characteristics and Known Limitations

HOMICIDE CRIMES

Homicide data are obtained from the Supplementary Homicide Report (SHR). The SHR is submitted monthly by California law enforcement agencies as part of the national Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) system.

The number of reported homicide crimes represents known victims.

Per UCR definition, suicides, fetal deaths, traffic fatalities, accidental deaths, assaults to murder, and attempts to murder are not classified as criminal homicide and are not included in this report.

The findings of a court, coroner’s inquest, etc., do not affect classifying or scoring of the SHR homicide counts.

Detailed data regarding the criminal homicide category can only be as comprehensive as the information provided by contributing agencies.

Offender data (race/ethnicity, age, and gender) are based on law enforcement identification of the offender as a suspect.

Weapon – Reporting agencies report a complete description of the weapon and the ways in which the weapon was used. For example, if a bottle was used in the commission of a murder, the agency will state whether the person was killed by beating, cutting, or stabbing.

Relationship – The relationship reported is that of the victim to the offender. For example, if a wife is killed by her husband, the reported relationship is wife.

Circumstances – Statements of circumstances are based on information known to law enforcement, not decisions of a grand jury, coroner’s inquest, or other agency outside law enforcement. The reporting agency provides a brief statement as to the circumstances or precipitating events leading to the victim’s death. If the killing occurred in conjunction with the commission of another felony such as a robbery or rape, the agency identifies the specific offense involved.

ARRESTSMonthly Arrest and Citation Register (MACR)

Arrest data from the MACR reporting system are designed to collect the number of persons arrested, not the number of charges lodged.

If a person is arrested for multiple offenses, MACR selects only the most serious offense, based on the severity of possible punishment.

The subjectivity of the classification and labeling process must be considered in the analysis of race/ethnic group data.

Data Characteristics and Known Limitations (continued)

ADULT FELONY ARREST DISPOSITIONSOffender-Based Transaction Statistics (OBTS)

In 2001, Criminal Justice Statistics Center staff determined that a number of homicide arrests submitted to the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Automated Criminal History System (from which adult felony arrest disposition data are extracted) between 2000 and 2001 should have been submitted as arrests for attempted homicide. As a result, more homicide arrests were counted during these years than occurred. This caused a lower percentage of homicide convictions and a higher percentage of assault convictions. (Both percentages were based on the number of adult felony arrests for homicide for which dispositions were received.) It should be noted that the DOJ has addressed this issue and that the exclusion of disposition data does not affect crime, arrest, death penalty, or other data included in this or past reports. When homicide disposition data are once again determined to be accurate, they will be included in this report.

POPULATION

Since 2004, the population estimates used to calculate rates have been based on revisions of the 2000 Census. Prior to 2003, these population estimates were based on revisions of the 1990 Census. Readers are advised to exercise care in interpreting changes in percent and rate between decennial census samples. In addition, the “other” population category now includes the Department of Finance’s race/ethnic group of “multi-racial.”

Appendix 2Computational Formulas

ARREST RATE – An arrest rate describes the number of arrests made by law enforcement agencies per 100,000 total population or per 100,000 total population considered to be at-risk for arrest (10-69 years of age). The “at-risk” population can be further distinguished by adults at-risk (aged 18-69 years) and juveniles at-risk (aged 10-17 years). Regardless of the population used, all rates are calculated in the same manner. An arrest rate is calculated by dividing the number of reported arrests by the respective population. The result is multiplied by 100,000. For example, in 2010 there were 1,638 homicide arrests. The total population was 38,826,898 and the total population at-risk was 30,585,515. This equals a homicide arrest rate of 4.2 per 100,000 population and 5.4 per 100,000 population at-risk. 1,638

38,826,898

1,63830,585,515

= 0.000042187 x 100,000 = 4.2 per 100,000 total population

= 0.00005355 x 100,000 = 5.4 per 100,000 total population at-risk

CLEARANCE RATE – A clearance rate is the percentage of crimes reported that have been cleared. A clearance rate is calculated by dividing the number of crimes cleared by the number of crimes reported. The result is multiplied by 100. For example, in 2010 there were 1,154 homicides cleared and 1,809 homicides reported. This equals a homicide clearance rate of 63.4 percent.

1,1541,809

= 0.637921504 x 100 = 63.8 percent

CRIME RATE – A crime rate describes the number of crimes reported to law enforcement agencies for every 100,000 persons within a population. A crime rate is calculated by dividing the number of reported crimes by the total population. The result is multiplied by 100,000. For example, in 2010 there were 1,809 homicides in California and the population was 38,826,898. This equals a homicide crime rate of 4.7 per 100,000 general population.

1,80938,826,898

= 0.0000465914 x 100,000 = 4.7 per 100,000 population

PERCENT CHANGE – A percent change describes a change in number or rate from one year to another. A percent change is calculated by subtracting base-year data from current-year data. The result is divided by base-year data and multiplied by 100. For example, in 2010 the homicide crime rate was 4.7. In 2001 the homicide crime rate was 6.3. The percent change in rate from 2001 to 2010 is a 25.4 percent decrease.

4.7 - 6.36.3

= -0.253968254 x 100 = -25.4 percent
