3 ABOUT THE IRVINE LAB FOR THE STUDY OF SPACE AND CRIME (ILSSC) The Irvine Laboratory for the Study of Space and Crime (ILSSC) in the Department of Criminology, Law and Society at the University of California, Irvine is dedicated to researching the social ecology of crime at all levels of analysis including street segments, blocks, neighborhoods, cities, counties, and metropolitan areas. Together with our collaborators and community partners, our team seeks to generate high quality scientific research on the spacecrime nexus, and to foster intellectual exchange among faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students at the University of California, Irvine, as well as members of the larger community. The team studies: 1) Foundational issues, including the dynamics of urban crime, the micro-environment of crime, and the role of local institutional resources for fighting crime; 2) Enduring challenges, including inequality, concentrated poverty and concentrated affluence, urban processes such as economic redevelopment and gentrification, and trends in immigration and other demographic population shifts; 3) Contemporary challenges, including the housing crisis and foreclosures, the spatial clustering of multiple social problems, and the continuous cycling of offenders in and out of prison and on and off of supervision. The ILSSC is a subsidiary of the Metropolitan Futures Initiative (MFI). iii

6 Chapter 1. Introduction Methodology This is the first annual Crime Report for Southern California. In these annual reports, we use data from the FBI s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program to describe the level of crime in cities located in the Southern California region. It is well-known that these data underestimate the actual amount of crime. This occurs because some crime events are not reported by citizens or detected by the police. The crime data can also be inaccurate if the police classify some non-crime events as crimes, or if they code some crime events as noncrimes. Despite these limitations, UCR data is generally recognized as the best data source available for tracking crime trends in U.S. cities. In our report, we examine the six most serious types of crime: homicide; aggravated assault; robbery; burglary; motor vehicle theft; and larceny. 1 For the analysis, we analyzed the level of crime for all cities in the region with a population size of at least 4,000. We use this value given that cities with very small populations can have excessive crime rates even with very few crime events. The Southern California region is an area that includes 196 cities in the following counties: 1) Los Angeles; 2) Orange; 3) Riverside; 4) San Bernardino; 5) San Diego; 6) Ventura; 7) Imperial. The region contains 21.7 million people. 1 We do not include rape in the analyses. Definitional differences, as well as policy differences, can lead to differences in the reported level of rapes across cities that do not represent true difference in the level of this type of crime. Other crimes are less dependent on such reporting decisions. We present results for cities with the top 10 levels of each crime type, cities with the bottom 10 levels of each crime type, and the top 10 increases and top 10 decreases in each crime type. The last part of the report presents results for each county one at a time. Throughout the report, we have standardized the crime rates to facilitate comparisons between cities within the Southern California region. We refer to these as adjusted crime rates. We first compute the crime rate by dividing the number of crimes by the most recent estimate of the population in the city. We standardize this value, and therefore a city that has a crime rate at the average value for the region as a whole will have an adjusted crime rate value of 100. Cities with adjusted crime rates greater than 100 are cities with crime rates greater than the average for the entire region; likewise, cities with adjusted crime rates less than 100 are cities with crime rates that are below the average of the region. For example, a city with a value of 150 for the adjusted aggravated assault rate measure has 50% more aggravated assaults than the average of the region in that year. And a city with a value of 60 has an aggravated assault rate that is only 60% as large as that of the average of the region (or, we might say their aggravated assault rate is 40% less than the average of the region). Violent crime combines aggravated assaults, robberies, and homicides. Property crime combines burglaries, motor vehicle thefts, and larcenies.

7 In several cases in the report, we computed the crime rate averaged over a 3- year period ( ). This is done to smooth out possible random year-to-year fluctuations in crime that might occur. While some year-toyear changes in crime reflect true change in the city, others can be due to idiosyncratic events in a particular year. These 3-year moving averages adjust for these fluctuations. For computing the change in overall violent or property crime rates, we compute the difference in these adjusted crime rates. For the six crime types (see Chapter 3), we employ a novel approach for calculating change that adjusts for the inherent problem of comparing changes in crime rates across cities of different sizes. The method is described in the technical notes portion of the report. In brief, the problem is this: if we were to compare cities based on the increase or decrease in the number of crime events, a large city would have an unfair advantage in that a large decrease in the number of crime events might not reflect a very large change in the crime rate, given the large population size. On the other hand, if we were to compare cities based on the increase or decrease in the crime rate, a small city would have an unfair advantage in that the rate can fluctuate quite a bit even with relatively small changes in the number of crimes, simply because of their small population size. Our approach corrects for these issues and provides a reasonable comparison across cities of different sizes. 2

8 Overview of results The main findings of the analysis are: Compton has the highest violent crime rate from Laguna Woods has the lowest violent crime rate from Commerce has the highest property crime rate from Imperial has the lowest property crime rate from Bell has the largest increase in violent crime from Hawaiian Gardens has the largest decrease in violent crime from Culver City has the largest increase in property crime from Desert Hot Springs has the largest decrease in property crime from

This takes into account unusual yearly fluctuations. This list again shows that Compton had the highest violent crime rate, with 209% more violent crime than the average city in the region over the last three years. Commerce had the highest average property crime rate over the last three years, as well as one of the higher violent crime rates. Big Bear Lake and Desert Hot Springs also had some of the highest violent and property crime rates over the last three years.

14 Top 10 cities with lowest violent or property crime rates in 2013 These lists show the 10 cities with lowest violent or property crime in Canyon Lake in Riverside County had the lowest violent crime rate (just 7.8% as high as the average city in the region). Several south Orange County cities had very low violent crime rates: Laguna Woods, Rancho Santa Margarita, and Irvine. Several south Orange County cities also had very low property crime rates: Laguna Woods, Rancho Santa Margarita, Laguna Niguel, Lake Forest, and Mission Viejo. Imperial had the lowest property crime rate in Several cities are among the lowest in both violent and property crime: Imperial, Palos Verdes Estates, Yorba Linda, Laguna Woods, Rancho Santa Margarita, and La Habra Heights. The only city with an over 100,000 person population on these lists was Irvine.

Laguna Woods, primarily a retirement community, had the lowest violent crime rate and the third lowest property crime rate. Irvine is by far the largest city on these lists with an over 200,000 person population. The city of Imperial had the lowest property crime rate over the last three years. Four cities are among the lowest in both violent and property crime: Imperial, Palos Verdes Estates, Laguna Woods, and Rancho Santa Margarita.

18 Top 10 cities with biggest increases in violent crime in last 1, 5, and 10 years These tables focus on the cities showing the biggest increase in violent crime in recent years. We display three tables: 1) Top 10 with the biggest increase in the last year ( ; 2) Top 10 with the biggest increase in the last five years; 3) Top 10 with the biggest increase in the last ten years. We also present maps throughout this section, and the following section, showing which cities have experienced the largest changes in adjusted crime rates over the last five years. In these maps, the cities with the largest increases are shown in red, the second largest are in orange, the third largest are in yellow, those with the second largest decrease are shown in green, and those with the largest decreases are shown in blue. In the last year, Big Bear Lake experienced the largest increase in their violent crime rate. They went from double the regional average rate to triple the regional average rate in the last year. They also experienced the 2 nd largest increase over the last 5 years and the 6 th largest increase over the last 10 years. Compton also showed a large increase in the last year, but this was a change from recent years as they are not included in the list of cities experiencing large increases in the last 5 or 10 years. Bell experienced the largest increase over the last 5 years, and one of the larger increases over the last 10 years. 5 years ago they reported an average violent crime rate, but now have 70% more violent crime than an average city in the region. Barstow saw a very large increase in the last year and the biggest increase over the last 10 years. The largest increases in violent crime over the last 10 years have typically occurred in the Inland Empire. For example, six cities from San Bernardino County appeared on the list as having large increases in the last 10 years, including Barstow, Victorville, Hesperia, Big Bear Lake, Adelanto, and Highland. 13

22 Top 10 cities with biggest increases in property crime in last 1, 5, and 10 years San Jacinto experienced large increases in property crime, with the largest increase in the last year, and the 2 nd largest over the last 10 years. In the last 10 years, they have gone from a low property crime city to one with an average level. And in the last year their property crime rate increased to 35% above the regional average. Culver City experienced the largest increase in the last 5 years, which continues a trend from the 5 years prior to that. Culver City went from about 30% below the average in 2003 to 30% above the average for property crime in the last 10 years. Redlands is another city that has experienced a large increase over the last 10 years to go from a below average level in 2003 to an above average level of property crime. El Centro has seen a steady increase in property crime over the last 10 years. They had the largest increase in property crime in the last 10 years, going from a city 10% below the average to one 60% above the average. 17

26 Top 10 cities with biggest decreases in violent crime in last 1, 5, and 10 years Coachella has seen the largest decrease in violent crime in the last year, going from 66% above the average to 22% below the average. However, that does not appear to be part of a longer lasting trend, as this decline does not appear over the last 5 or 10 years. Alternatively, Needles saw a large drop in the last year, continuing a 5 year trend in which they went from a high violent crime city to a city just below the average. Hawaiian Gardens experienced the largest decrease in violent crime over the last 5 years. Five years ago their violent crime rate was double the average, and now it is just above the average. Perris also has seen a steady decrease in their violent crime rate over the last 10 years, from almost 70% above the average to 20% below the average. Although Compton still has a high violent crime rate that is 3 times the average, they have experienced some of the largest decreases in the last 5 and 10 years. Likewise, Gardena has experienced a steady decrease in their violent crime rate over the last 10 years, going from twice the region average to just 17% above the average. Los Angeles experienced the largest decrease in violent crime over the last 10 years. Ten years ago Los Angeles had a violent crime rate 183% higher than the regional average, and now it is just 22% above the average. 21

28 Top 10 cities with biggest decreases in property crime in last 1, 5, and 10 years Big Bear Lake experienced the largest decrease in property crime in the last year, while Cathedral City, Rialto, and Ojai also have seen relatively sharp drops. When looking at longer-term trends, Desert Hot Springs has shown the most consistent downward trend in property crime. Although it still has a property crime rate 40% above the regional average, this city has had the largest decrease over the last 10 years, with most of the drop attributed to the more recent 5 years. Although it already had a low rate, Imperial also has seen a relatively large decrease in property crime in the last 5 years. Three cities in San Diego County have seen large decreases in property crime. Chula Vista, Lemon Grove, and El Cajon have all experienced drops over the last 10 years and are now well below the regional average for property crime. Four cities in Los Angeles County have experienced large drops in property crime. Three of those cities Hawaiian Gardens, San Fernando, and Los Angeles were already below the average 10 years ago, but have decreased further since then. And one Signal Hill is a former high property crime city that has seen sizeable decreases over the last 10 years. 23

30 Chapter 3. Crime by six specific types Top 10 cities with highest crime rates in 2013 In this section, we display the Top 10 cities for each specific crime type. For example, the first table (Top 10 cities with highest aggravated assault rate) shows that Big Bear Lake had the highest aggravated assault rate in The adjusted aggravated assault rate of 423 indicates that whereas the average city in the region had an aggravated assault rate of 100, Big Bear Lake s rate was 323% higher than the average ( = 323). We also display the population of each city to give a sense of the city size. As evident in this table, Big Bear Lake is a very small resort city with a population of just over 5,000 residents according to the most recent Census. Across crime types, there are some notable similarities. For example, San Bernardino and Compton are the top two cities in both robbery and homicide rates in Santa Fe Springs and Commerce are the top two cities in auto theft and larceny in Across most crime types, cities from all counties were typically included on these top 10 lists. Exceptions were robbery in which cities from Los Angeles County dominated the list, and burglary in which cities from San Bernardino and Riverside County dominated the list. With a population of less than 5,000 residents, the small city of Needles in San Bernardino County had the highest burglary rate (297) and third highest homicide rate (519). For some crime types, the range among the top 10 cities is narrower (e.g., larceny crime rates ranged from 234 in Santa Fe Springs to 143). For other crime types, cities varied markedly in their crime rate and even in the average rate (i.e., 100). An example of this is in auto theft rates with Commerce having a rate of 972 or a rate 872% higher than the regional average rate and Montebello having a rate of 356 or a rate 256% higher than the regional average rate. It is worth keeping in mind that for crimes that are relatively rare, such as homicide, a single incident can significantly impact the statistics. An example is Seal Beach, in which a homicide event occurred in 2011, killing several people in a singular incident. Such a big event can strongly impact the city s homicide statistics. Thus, caution is necessary in interpreting the results for any given year, especially when considering homicide rates, which can be driven by relatively few incidents. Below, we present maps showing adjusted crime rates for the various crime types for cities in the region. In these maps, the cities with the highest crime rates are shown in red; the second highest are shown in orange; the third highest are shown in yellow; the second lowest are shown in green; and the cities with the lowest crime rate are shown in blue. 25

35 Top 10 cities with highest crime rates averaged over In the following set of tables, we show the Top 10 cities for each crime type based on the crime rate averaged over the last three years ( ). This averaged crime rate ensures that an atypical year with unusually high or low crime results in a less biased estimate. The highest reported average crime rate is for motor vehicle theft in Commerce (926). Commerce is also listed as a top 10 city for larceny and aggravated assault. On occasion, high crime rates do group in space. An example of this is found in the top 10 cities for robbery in which 9 out of the 10 are in Los Angeles County. San Bernardino is the exception as the only top 10 city for robbery outside of Los Angeles County. For most crime types, cities from Orange, Ventura, or San Diego County do not make the top

40 Top 10 cities with lowest crime rates in 2013 In this section, we display the Top 10 cities with the lowest rates of the following five crime types: aggravated assault, robbery, burglary, motor vehicle theft and larceny. We do not list the Top 10 cities with the lowest homicide rates, given that several cities had no homicides. The third table shows that Imperial, a city of 15,943 people located in Imperial County, had the lowest burglary rate in Imperial s adjusted burglary rate of 18.8 indicates that this city s rate was 81.2% less than the average burglary rate in the region ( = -81.2). The fifth table shows that Imperial also had the lowest larceny rate in In this case, Imperial s adjusted larceny rate of 15.9 indicates that this city s rate was 84.1% less than the average larceny rate in the region. As demonstrated by the case of Imperial, many cities which ranked in the list of Top 10 cities with the lowest rate of one crime type in 2013 also ranked in the list of Top 10 cities with the lowest rate of other crime types in For example, Rancho Santa Margarita, a city of 49,190 people located in Orange County, had one of the lowest rates of all five crime types displayed in this section. Similarly, Laguna Woods (another city located in south Orange County) had the lowest aggravated assault rate in 2013, as well as one of the lowest robbery, burglary and larceny rates in the region; while Palos Verdes Estates (located in Los Angeles County) had some of the lowest robbery, motor vehicle theft and larceny rates in the region. 35

45 Top 10 cities with lowest crime rates averaged over In this section, we display the Top 10 cities with the lowest level of each of the following five crime types based on the crime rate averaged over : aggravated assault, robbery, burglary, motor vehicle theft and larceny. This allows for the smoothing of unusual events that might occur in a single year. The fourth table shows that San Marino, a city of 13,308 people in Los Angeles County, had the lowest motor vehicle theft rate when averaged over the last three years. Similarly, the second table shows that Villa Park, a city of 5,959 people located in Orange County, had the lowest robbery rate when averaged over the last three years. In the section where crime types are averaged over the last three years, the positions of several cities differ compared to the previous section looking only at crime rates in For example, Imperial still had the lowest burglary and larceny rates when averaged over the last three years, and Laguna Woods still had the lowest aggravated assault rate when averaged over the last three years. However, Villa Park, which had the lowest motor vehicle theft rate in 2013, was now replaced by San Marino when averaging over three years. Such observations provide support for the inclusion of averaged crime rates as a means to smooth out particular years that experience disproportionately high or low numbers of certain crime types. 40

50 Top 10 cities with biggest increases in crime in last 1, 5, and 10 years These tables focus on the cities showing the biggest increase in crime in recent years. For each crime type we display three tables: 1) Top 10 with the biggest increase in the last year; 2) Top 10 with the biggest increase in the last five years; 3) Top 10 with the biggest increase in the last ten years. These are grouped by particular crime type (e.g., aggravated assault, etc.). It is possible that a city with a large drop in crime can appear to have a higher adjusted crime rate in the more recent time period. This is because the adjusted crime rates compare the city to all other cities in that same year. If the overall level of crime is dropping in the entire region, this can affect the adjusted rates in individual years, regardless of the amount of change for individual cities. We also present maps throughout this section, and the following section, showing which cities have experienced the largest changes in adjusted crime rates over the last five years. In these maps, the cities with the largest increases are shown in red, the second largest are in orange, the third largest are in yellow, those with the second largest decrease are shown in green, and those with the largest decreases are shown in blue. Some key results: Increases in the last year: Compton experienced the largest increase in aggravated assault in the last year, going from a rate about 200% higher than the average in the region to one almost 300% higher. They also experienced the largest increase in their homicide rate. Despite their already high aggravated assault rate, Big Bear Lake had the second largest increase but did not experience similar increases in other crime types. Barstow experienced large increases in aggravated assault, homicide, and burglary. Indio experienced large increases in aggravated assaults and motor vehicle thefts. Hemet experienced sizeable increases in robberies, motor vehicle thefts, and larcenies. Maywood experienced large increases in homicides and motor vehicle thefts. Riverside and Anaheim experienced the largest increases in motor vehicle thefts. Oxnard, despite its relatively low larceny rate, experienced the largest increase. Increases in the last five years: Over the last five years, Chino has seen the largest increase in aggravated assaults. Formerly a city with a rate only half that of the regional average, now it is at the average rate. They also have experienced a large increase in homicides. Bell experienced large increases in aggravated assaults and robberies. Hesperia has seen large increases in aggravated assaults and burglaries. Culver City experienced large increases in aggravated assaults and larcenies. Yucaipa and Loma Linda have seen large increases in aggravated assaults and robberies. 45

64 Top 10 cities with biggest decreases in crime in last 1, 5, and 10 years These tables focus on the cities showing the biggest decrease in crime in recent years. For each crime type we display three tables: 1) Top 10 with the biggest decrease in the last year; 2) Top 10 with the biggest decrease in the last five years; 3) Top 10 with the biggest decrease in the last ten years. A few notable trends in crime decreases: Over the last one, five, and ten year periods, the city of Los Angeles has seen substantial and consistent decreases in aggravated assaults, robberies, homicides, and motor vehicle thefts. Over the past ten years in Los Angeles, aggravated assaults and robberies in particular decreased dramatically compared to the cities with the second greatest declines: San Diego (aggravated assaults) and Inglewood (robberies). Over the past one, five, and ten years, the greatest declines in violent crime occurred most consistently across Los Angeles County: for all but one of the top ten lists reviewing aggravated assaults, robberies, and homicides; cities in Los Angeles County occupied at least 6 of the 10 slots. The cities of San Diego and Huntington Park showed continued decreases in motor vehicle thefts over the past one, five, and ten years. Across the top ten lists for crime declines over the past ten years, the city of Los Angeles demonstrated the greatest crime drops for all crime types. In the past year, Long Beach has been among the top ten Southern California cities with declining aggravated assaults, robberies, motor vehicle thefts, and larcenies. Over the past year and past five years, Palm Desert and Palm Springs have been among the top ten cities in declining burglary rates. In the past one, five, and ten years, Chula Vista has consistently been among the top ten cities in declining rates of motor vehicle theft. In the past year, Calexico has been among the top ten cities in declining burglaries and motor vehicle thefts. In the past year, Rialto has been among the top ten cities with decreasing rates of motor vehicle theft and larceny theft. In the past year, the city of Highland has been among the top ten cities with decreasing rates of aggravated assault, robbery, and burglary. 59

77 Chapter 4. County-specific focus In this section, we display the adjusted crime rates for all cities in each of the six major counties in the region. We present the results for each county separately, beginning with Los Angeles County. The first table for each county shows the adjusted crime rate in the most recent year (2013) for all cities in the county. The second table shows the average adjusted crime rate over the three most recent years ( ) for all cities in the county. After the two tables, we then display Figures showing the 10 year trajectory of the violent crime rate for the cities in the county. Each Figure presents the trajectories for a geographic cluster of cities. A map in each section shows the geographic clustering of cities for these figures. For each Figure, the scale is typically from 0 to 400. Thus, the bottom value is a city with no violent crime, whereas 400 indicates a city with a violent crime rate 300% higher than the regional average ( = 300). For a few of the Figures, we had to extend the scale if certain cities had particularly high violent crime rates. To understand how to interpret the tables, note that in the first table for Los Angeles County, the city of Bell has an adjusted aggravated assault rate of 154.2, indicating that in 2013 their aggravated assault rate was 54.2% higher than the average city in the region. The robbery rate in Bell was 115.1% higher than the average city in the region ( = 115.1). Bell had no homicides in 2013, thus the adjusted homicide rate is 0. However, their property crime rate was below the average of the region, as the burglary rate was 57.4% of the regional average, motor vehicle theft was just below the average, and larceny was about 60% of the regional average. 72

105 San Bernardino County This section shows the crime rate trends for San Bernardino County cities. The first table shows the adjusted crime rate in the most recent year (2013) for all cities. The second table shows the average adjusted crime rate over the three most recent years ( ) for all cities. After the two tables, we then display Figures showing the 10 year trajectory of the violent crime rate for the cities in the county. These cities are clustered geographically into city clusters, and the map shows the clustering of cities for these figures. For each Figure, the scale is typically from 0 to 400. Thus, the bottom value is a city with no violent crime, whereas 400 indicates a city with a violent crime rate 300% higher than the regional average ( = 300). For a few of the Figures, we had to extend the scale if certain cities had particularly high violent crime rates. 100

121 Technical Notes We use a novel approach for calculating changes in crime over time for the six individual crime types (aggravated assault, robbery, homicide, burglary, motor vehicle theft, and larceny). This is used to overcome the challenges of comparing changes for different sized cities. For example, if we were to compare cities based on the increase or decrease in the number of crime events, a large city would have an unfair advantage in that a large decrease in the number of crime events might not reflect a very large change in the crime rate, given the large population size. On the other hand, if we were to compare cities based on the increase or decrease in the number of crime rate, a small city would have an unfair advantage in that the rate can change quite a bit even with relatively small changes in the number of crimes simply because of the small population size. We therefore adopt a novel approach in which we compute the Bayesian probability of observing this sized change in the rate of crime. The approach is as follows. We first get the number of crime events at the two time points for all cities. We then compute the variance of each of these variables, and use this information to compute the standard error of the difference across the two time points. Next, we compute the difference in the number of crime events across the two time points for each city and divide this difference by the standard error. This results in a computed z-score. Finally, we divide the z-score value by the city population to make this a rate variable. 116

122 Appendix In this Appendix, we present tables showing all cities in each of the counties. Each table displays the results for a different type of crime. In each table the first column shows the adjusted rate 10 years ago (2003), the second column shows the adjusted rate 5 years ago (2008), then 3 years ago (2010), 2 years ago (2011), last year (2012), and this year (2013). The seventh column shows the change over the last year ( ), the eighth column shows the change over the last 5 years ( ), the ninth column shows the change over the last 10 years ( ), and the final column shows the population. 117
