Crime hits one in four households in 1984
Washington AP reports the Justice Department’s Bureau of Justice Statistics found about 22.8 million U.S. households or 26 percent were touched by crime in 1984, marking the lowest victimization level since 1975 though crime remains a major societal issue. Higher rates appeared among blacks, urban residents, and higher income groups, with burglaries and larcenies driving declines in 1983–84. The data come from a National Crime Survey of roughly 60,000 households conducted semiannually.
