2013Kamala D. Harris, attorney General • California Department of JustiCe

California Homicide Statistics for 2013

Homicide in California, 2013 contains information about the crime of homicide and its victims, including demographic data on persons arrested for homicide, number of persons sentenced to death, the number of peace officers killed in the line of duty, and justifiable homicide data. This report includes data for 2013 and prior years.

Homicide Crimes

There were 1,745 homicides reported in 2013. This number represents a 7.1 percent decrease from the 1,878 reported in 2012 and a 27.1 percent decrease from the 2,394 reported in 2004. (Table 1)

The 1,745 reported homicides also translate to a rate of 4.6 homicide crimes per 100,000 population. This figure represents an 8.0 percent decrease from the 5.0 rate reported in 2012 and a 31.3 percent decrease from the 6.7 rate reported in 2004. (Table 1)

z Over the past decade the homicide rate ranged from a high of 7.0 in 2005 to this year’s low of 4.6. The homicide crime rate has not been this low since 1964, when the rate was 4.2 per 100,000.

From 2004-2013:

z The majority of homicide victims have consistently been male. (Table 5)

z The largest proportion of victims has consistently been Hispanic. (Table 6)

z The largest percentage of homicide victims has consistently been aged 18-29. (Table 7)

In 2013:

z 82.1 percent of homicide victims were male, 17.9 percent were female. (Table 5)

z Of the homicides where the victim’s race/ethnicity was identified, 42.4 percent of victims were Hispanic, 30.7 percent were black, 21.2 percent were white, and 5.7 percent were categorized as “other.” (Table 6)

z While the largest proportion of Hispanic and black victims were aged 18-29 (47.4 and 48.3 percent, respectively), over half (56.4 percent) of white victims were aged “40 and over.” (Table 9)

z When the victim-offender relationship was identified, 46.9 percent were killed by a friend or acquaintance, 30.9 percent by stranger, and 16.5 percent by their spouse, parent, or child. Males were more likely than females to be killed by strangers (37.9 percent vs. 12.5 percent respectively). Females were more likely than males to be killed by their spouse (24.2 percent vs. 0.6 respectively). (Table 12)

z Of the homicides where location was reported, 36.5 percent occurred on the street or sidewalk, 25.5 percent in the victim’s residence (includes shared), and 14.0 percent in a residence other than the victim’s. (Table 19)

Page 6: Homicide in California, 2013 - Department of Justice · PDF fileHomicide in California 2013 Kamala D. Harris, attorney General • California Department of JustiCe California Homicide

z While the largest proportion of male victims (41.0 percent) were killed on the street or sidewalk, over half (51.5 percent) of the female victims were killed in their residence. (Table 19)

z Of the homicides where the weapon was identified, 72.1 percent involved a firearm. (Table 22)

z Of the homicides where the contributing circumstance was known, 33.0 percent were gang-related, 29.6 percent were the result of an unspecified argument, 8.5 percent were domestic violence-related, and 7.3 percent occurred in conjunction with the commission of a robbery. (Table 24)

z Among California’s 35 counties with populations of 100,000 or more, Monterey County experienced the highest homicide rate (11.1 per 100,000); Placer County had the lowest rate (0.5 per 100,000). (Table 14)

Arrests

There were 1,423 arrests for homicide in 2013. This number represents a 13.1 percent decrease from the 1,637 arrests in 2012 and a 28.1 percent decrease from the 1,978 arrests in 2004. (Table 29)

The 1,423 homicide arrests also translate to a rate of 4.8 homicide arrests per 100,000 population at risk. This figure represents a 12.7 percent decrease from the 5.5 rate reported in 2012 and a 32.4 percent decrease from the 7.1 rate reported in 2004. (Table 29)

Over the past decade:

z The homicide arrest rate has ranged from a high of 7.1 in 2004 to this year’s low of 4.8. (Table 29)

z The majority of homicide arrestees were male. (Table 30)

z The largest percentage of homicide arrestees were Hispanic. (Table 31)

z The largest percentage of homicide arrestees were aged 18-29. (Table 32)

In 2013:

z 89.2 percent of homicide arrestees were male,

10.8 percent were female. (Table 30)

z 49.3 percent of homicide arrestees were Hispanic, 24.9 percent were black, 20.0 percent were white, and 5.8 percent were categorized as “other.” (Table 31)

z 53.3 percent of homicide arrestees were aged 18-29, 19.4 percent were 40 years of age or older, 19.9 percent were aged 30-39, and 7.4 percent were under the age of 18. (Table 32)

Death Penalty Sentences

In 2013, there were 24 individuals sentenced to death in California (Tables 35, 36). Of these,

z All were male.

z Ten were Hispanic, seven were black, six were white, and one was categorized as “other.”

z Two were under the age of 20 at the time of arrest, five were 40 and over.

z Los Angeles and Riverside counties sentenced the majority with seven and six respectively.

Peace Officers Killed in the Line of Duty

In the last decade, there have been 38 California peace officers feloniously killed in the line of duty. Five were killed in 2013, all with firearms. Four were male, one was female. (Table 37, 38)

Justifiable Homicides

In 2013, there were 165 justifiable homicides reported. Of these, 132 were committed by a peace officer and 33 were committed by a private citizen. (Table 39)

Note: Crime and arrest rates are calculated using annual population estimates provided by the Demographic Research Unit, California Department of Finance. Population estimates for 2000-2011 were revised based on the 2010 census. Crime and arrest rates for that period have been recalculated using revised intercensal population data and may not match previously published data.

Appendix 1Data Characteristics and Known Limitations

HOMICIDE CRIMES

Homicide data are obtained from the Supplementary Homicide Report (SHR). The SHR is submitted monthly by 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 are only as comprehensive as the information provided by contributing agencies.

Offender data (race/ethnicity, age, and gender) are based on law enforcement identification of the offender as a suspect.

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 are based on information known to 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 the number of persons arrested.

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.

POPULATION

Crime and arrest rates are calculated using annual population estimates provided by the Demographic Research Unit, California Department of Finance. Population estimates for 2000–2011 were revised based on the 2010 census. Crime and arrest rates for the period have been recalculated using revised intercensal population data and may not match previously published data.

Beginning in 2004, the population category of “other” for race/ethnic group includes the Department of Finance’s race/ethnic group of “multi-racial.”

Appendix 2Computational 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 total 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, all 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 2013 there were 1,423 homicide arrests. The total population was 38,204,597 and the total population at-risk was 29,923,597. This equals a homicide arrest rate of 3.7 per 100,000 population and 4.8 per 100,000 population at-risk. 1,423

38,204,597

1,42329,923,597

= 0.000037247 x 100,000 = 3.7 per 100,000 total population

= 0.00004755 x 100,000 = 4.8 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 2013 there were 1,146 homicides cleared and 1,745 homicides reported. This equals a homicide clearance rate of 65.7 percent.

1,1461,745

= 0.656733524 x 100 = 65.7 percent

CRIME RATE – A crime rate describes the number of crimes reported to law enforcement agencies for every 100,000 persons within a 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 2013 there were 1,745 homicides in California and the population was 38,204,597. This equals a homicide crime rate of 4.6 per 100,000 general population.

1,74538,204,597

= 0.0000456751 x 100,000 = 4.6 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 2013 the homicide crime rate was 4.6. In 2004 the homicide crime rate was 6.7. The percent change in rate from 2004 to 2013 is a 31.3 percent decrease.

4.6 - 6.76.7

= -0.31343284 x 100 = -31.3 percent

Note: 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).
