FBI Crime Report Shows 2 Percent Drop Nationwide
FBI Uniform Crime Report 1984 finds total crime down 2 percent for a third straight year and violent crime up 1 percent, with murders and robberies down 3 and 4 percent. Drunken driving arrests rise significantly to about 1.2 million, while 900,000 male DUI arrests reflect heightened public awareness. A separate Justice study notes blacks face higher odds of state prison confinement, with blacks comprising 47 percent of state prisoners 1978–82 though only about 11 percent of the adult population.
