Attorney General Paula Dow released the 2011 Uniform Crime Report Friday with information about crime rates throughout the state, broken down into individual municipalities, and comparing those with numbers determined in 2010.

 

The report is available here. http://www.njsp.org/info/stats.html

it is broken down into municipalities? I see counties.... havent read thru the whole document tho

Funny how crime is up in Hudson County but yet we have such awesome restrictive laws.

I find the ratio of "successful" rape to attempted rape to be pretty disturbing, and speaking to a woman's inability to defend herself against a stronger attacker. Would be interesting to compare this to CCW allowing states

 

A question for the LEOs if they're comfortable answering it. the "clearance rate" for rape seems low around 1/3...tho i have no basis for this comparing to other statistics...it just feels low. is this because charges end up getting dropped or because we're not able to nail down assailants with sufficient evidence? I don't plan to do anything with a response, just curious i guess...i have a daughter and that rate is kinda scary to me.

The problem with rapes is either the woman is hesitant to come forward or does so too late and the evidence is no good. They are embarrassed and afraid of being revictimized by people not believing them

thanks BlueLineFish...that makes a lot of sense. appreciate it!

No problem. There are a lot of complications and variables with rape cases
