According to the 2011 edition of the FBI’s annual report Crime in the United States, part of the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program, that was released in Oct. 2012, the estimated number of property crimes in 2011 declined for the fifth consecutive year
In 2010, there were an estimated 2,159,878 burglaries — a decrease of 2.0 percent when compared with 2009 data, according to the U.S. Department of Justice’s Federal Bureau of Investigation in its “Uniform Crime Reports: Crime in the United States 2010,” released in September of this year. It’s just one data point of many that comprise a trend of diminishing crime in general.
