Regionally

The Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs (WASPC) publishes annual reports on crime in the State of Washington.  These annual reports from 1980 to the present are available on the WASPC website.

Nationally

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) publishes annual reports on crime in the United States based on the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) submitted by all law enforcement agencies.  These annual reports from 1995 to the present are available on the FBI's Internet Site.

The U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics also publishes many reports on all aspects of the criminal justice system in the United States.  In addition to law enforcement statistics, there is information on the courts, the corrections system, and victimization surveys.  This information is publicly available on the Bureau of Justice Statistics Internet Site.

(PLEASE NOTE:  As you view crime statistics from different sources, you may find the numbers are not consistent.  There are many reasons for this.  One reason is due to the definitions used.  The official FBI UCR Statistics, for example, use very narrow definitions to allow for comparisons between agencies.  Local agencies may use broader definitions when counting crimes.  A second reason for inconsistencies is how the numbers are generated.  If a search is done in a records system for all thefts reported to 9-1-1 dispatch, that number will be different than the number of theft reports taken by police.  This is because after preliminary investigation, the police may count it as a robbery instead of a theft.  Or, the police may be able to help locate the property and determine no theft actually occurred.)
