Homicide in California, 2008
i
xecutive Summary
Homicide in California, 2008 contains information about the crime of homicide and its victims, as well as demographic data on persons arrested for homicide. Information about the death penalty, the number of peace officers killed in the line of duty, and justifiable homicide is also included. This report provides data for 2008 and prior years.
The California Department of Justice (DOJ) is responsible for reporting annual statistics on homicide as mandated by Penal Code section 13014. Information displayed in this report is extracted from several databases maintained by the DOJ. The primary source of information is the Homicide File, which captures willful and justifiable homicide crime data. Other databases capture information about persons arrested for homicide, death penalty sentences, and peace officers killed in the line of duty.
The type of data collected, and the methods used to collect these data, differ for each data set. Unless otherwise indicated, all calculations are based on the number of known victims.

Personal Characteristics of Homicide Arrestees
Homicide Arrests, 2008By Gender of Arrestee
Unlike crimes, which are classified by nationwide Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) standards, arrests are reported by the statutory definition of the offense.1 This may cause some differences in the definitions of certain crimes and the reporting of the arrests for those crimes. For instance, the California definition of a homicide arrest includes murder and nonvehicular manslaughter. The federal definition of a homicide crime includes murder and nonnegligent (nonaccidental) manslaughter.
California law enforcement agencies report arrest and citation information to the DOJ on the Monthly Arrest and Citation Register. This file contains information about the age, gender, and race/ethnic group of the arrestee, and specifies the “most serious” arrest offense and law enforcement disposition.
Source: Table 30.
Population in California, 2008By Gender
In 2008, there were 1,850 individuals arrested for homicide. Of these:
89.3 percent (1,652) of arrestees were male.
10.7 percent (198) of arrestees were female.

Population in California, 2008By Race/Ethnic Group
Note:The subjectivity of the classificationandlabeling process must be considered in the analysis of race/ethnic groupdata. As commonly used, racerefers to large populations that share certain similar physical characteristics such as skin color. Because thesephysical characteristics can vary greatlywithingroupsaswell as betweengroups, determinationof race is frequently, bynecessity, subjective.Ethnicity refers to cultural heritage and can cross racial lines. For example, theethnic designation"Hispanic" can includepersonsof any race. Mostcommonly, self-identificationof race/ethnicity isused in the classificationand labelingprocess.

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.

Data Characteristics and Known Limitations
HOMICIDE CRIMES
Homicide data are obtained from the Supplementary Homicide Report (SHR). The SHR is submitted monthly by local 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 input provided by the individual contributing agency.
Offender data (race/ethnicity, age, and gender) are based on law enforcement identification of the offender as a suspect. No follow-up is made to determine if a conviction was obtained.
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 must be 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 data on 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)
To provide the most valid data possible, the disposition section of this report has been removed. In 2001, Criminal Justice Statistics Center staff determined that a number of homicide arrests submitted to the DOJ’s Automated Criminal History System (from which adult felony arrest disposition data are extracted) between 1999 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 publication.
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.”

Computational 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 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, both 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 2008 there were 1,850 homicide arrests. The total population was 38,148,493 and the total population at risk (10–69 years of age) was 29,910,167. This equals a homicide arrest rate of 4.8 per 100,000 total population and 6.2 per 100,000 total population at risk.
1,850 38,148,493
1,85029,910,167
= 0.000048495 x 100,000 = 4.8 per 100,000 total population
= 0.00006185 x 100,000 = 6.2 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 2008 there were 1,227 homicides cleared and 2,143 homicides reported. This equals a homicide clearance rate of 57.3 percent.
1,2272,143
= 0.572561829 x 100 = 57.3 percent
CRIME RATE – A crime rate describes the number of crimes reported to law enforcement agencies per 100,000 total 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 2008 there were 2,142 homicides in California and the population was 38,148,493. This equals a homicide crime rate of 5.6 per 100,000 general population.
2,14238,148,493
= 0.0000561490 x 100,000 = 5.6 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 2008 the homicide crime rate was 5.6. In 1999 the homicide crime rate was 5.9. The percent change in rate from 1999 to 2008 is a 5.1 percent decrease.
5.6 - 5.95.9
= -0.050847458 x 100 = -5.1 percent
Notes: When a series of rates are calculated using different populations, the rate calculated for the total will not be equal to the sum of the rates calculated for each subtotal. For example, the total arrest rate (calculated using the total at-risk population) will not equal the sum of the adult arrest rate (calculated using the adult at-risk population) and the juvenile arrest rate (calculated using the juvenile at-risk population).
Calculatingratesforcountiesoflessthan100,000willgenerateaninflatedratewhencomparedtocountieswithpopulationsof100,000ormore; therefore, rates are not calculated for counties with populations of less than 100,000.

Glossary
ADULT: a person 18 years of age or older.
AGGRAVATED ASSAULT: an unlawful attack or attempted attack by one person upon another for the purpose of inflicting severe or aggravated bodily injury. This type of assault usually is accompanied by the use of a weapon or by means likely to produce death or great bodily harm (UCR definition).
APPEAL: a petition initiated by a defendant for a rehearing in an appellate court regarding a previous sentence or motion.
ARREST: ". . . taking a person into custody, in a case and in the manner authorized by law. An arrest may be made by a peace officer or by a private person" (834 PC).
ARREST RATE: the number of arrests per 100,000 population or population at risk. See Appendix II – Computational Formulas for further explanation.
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION (CDCR): the state agency that operates all state adult prisons and juvenile facilities, oversees a variety of community correctional facilities and other important correctional facility responsibilities, and supervises all adult and juvenile parolees during their reentry into society.
CLEARANCE: an offense is "cleared by arrest" or solved, for crime reporting purposes, when at least one person is arrested, charged with the commission of an offense, and turned over to a court for prosecution. Although no physical arrest is made, a clearance by arrest can be claimed when an offender is a person under 18 years of age and is cited to appear in juvenile court or before other juvenile authorities. An
offense can also be "cleared exceptionally" for crime reporting purposes when an investigation has definitely established the identity of an offender; there is enough information to support an arrest; and the exact location of an offender is known but, for some reason, law enforcement cannot take the offender into custody.
CLEARANCE RATE: the percentage of crimes reported that have been cleared.
CONVICTION: a judgment, based either on the verdict of a jury or a judicial officer or on the guilty plea of the defendant, that the defendant is guilty.
COURT: an agency of the judicial branch of government, authorized or established by statute or constitution, having one or more judicial officers on its staff. A court has the authority to decide upon controversies in law and disputed matters of fact brought before it. Because of court consolidation we no longer distinguish between lower court and superior court.
CRIME: ". . . an act committed or omitted in violation of a law forbidding or commanding it. . ." (15 PC).
CRIME RATE: the number of reported crimes per 100,000 general population. See Appendix II – Computational Formulas for further explanation.

MISDEMEANOR: a crime punishable by imprisonment in a county jail for up to one year.
MONTHLY ARREST AND CITATION REGISTER (MACR): a reporting system used to collect information on adult and juvenile arrests and citations by police and sheriffs' departments. This register contains data on arrest offenses, arrestee characteristics (age, gender, and race/ethnic group), and law enforcement dispositions.
OFFENDER-BASED TRANSACTION STATISTICS (OBTS): a system designed to collect statistical information on the various processes within the criminal justice system that occur between the point of the felony arrest of an adult and the point of final disposition.
OFFENSE: the charged offense is the crime for which the defendant was arrested or filed on by the district attorney. The convicted offense is the offense the defendant was convicted of or pled guilty to in court.
PENAL CODE (PC): the California Penal Code contains statutes that define criminal offenses and specify corresponding punishments. Criminal justice system mandates and procedures are also included.
POPULATION AT RISK: that portion of the total population who, because of like characteristics to the specific study group, are considered "at risk." For example, if one were studying juvenile arrestees, all persons between 10 and 17 years of age would constitute the at-risk population.
RATE: a comparison of a number of events to a population.
ROBBERY: the taking or attempting to take anything of value from the care, custody, or control of a person or persons by force or threat of force or violence and/or by creating fear in the victim (UCR definition).
