CRIME

IN

SOUTH

CAROLINA

2016

Compiled and presented as a collaborative project between the South Carolina Law Enforcement
Division and the South Carolina Department of Public Safety.
INTRODUCTION
The 2016 edition of Crime in South Carolina contains general information about crime trends,
provides crime data at the county level for the most recent year available, and provides
descriptive information about crime. The intent of this publication is to provide statistical
information about crime in the state in a simple and straightforward manner so that it can better
inform policymakers, criminal justice practitioners, and researchers, as well as the general
public.

The information presented in the tables, graphs, and charts in this publication indicate volume,
fluctuation, and distribution of crime in South Carolina on the basis of incident reports submitted
to the State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) by state and local law enforcement agencies.
These reports are edited and reviewed, corrected as needed, and compiled to form the basis of the
information presented in this report. It is important to note that the information in this report is
only as complete as the information submitted to SLED. Accordingly, unreported crimes are not
included.

Additionally, edits, updates, and corrections are made over a two-year period in order to provide
agencies with the maximum window of opportunity to report as fully and accurately as possible.
As a result, rates and totals from a specific year can vary from previously published totals for
that same year. The data used for this report were current as of June 10, 2018. Any data
published here concerning figures for prior years supersede those published in previous reports.
The sum of categories for some tables, charts, or graphs may not total 100% due to rounding.
The percent change in the rate per 10,000 inhabitants (or juveniles) is calculated from unrounded
rates that are not displayed in the tables.

A great deal of thanks and appreciation is due to the sheriffs, chiefs of police, state and local law
enforcement officers, as well as the administrative staff whose hard work gathering, reviewing,
and submitting crime and arrest data to the South Carolina Uniform Crime Reporting Program
made publication of this report possible. The report itself is the product of a collaborative
relationship between the SLED Uniform Crime Reporting Program and the South Carolina
Statistical Analysis Center located within the South Carolina Department of Public Safety’s
Office of Highway Safety and Justice Programs.
TRANSITION TO INCIDENT-BASED REPORTING
In 1991, South Carolina became one of the first states in the country to implement an FBI-
certified incident-based reporting (IBR) system. This new system expanded on the previous
Summary Reporting System (SRS) by requiring a higher degree of detail in reporting. Whereas
the SRS collected only eight Part I crimes (murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary,
larceny, motor vehicle theft, and arson), the South Carolina Incident-Based Reporting System
(SCIBRS) currently collects in-depth data on 56 Group A offenses.

Additionally, the older Summary system allowed only the single most serious offense in an
incident to be reported; any other offenses in the incident—and the information associated with
them—were not collected. The SCIBRS allows up to five separate Group A offenses to be
reported in each incident, collecting information on the offense characteristics, property, victims,
offenders, and arrestees associated with each offense.

While enough data was collected using the new system to allow for historical trend reporting,
SCIBRS data continued to be converted back to Summary for publication in Crime in South
Carolina. This also facilitated comparison with the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s statistical
crime publications—such as Crime in the United States—which converts all IBR data to
Summary.

Crime in South Carolina, 2016 will be the fourth edition to feature exclusively IBR data.
Because of the significant differences between Summary data and SCIBRS data, any
comparisons between the figures published here in Crime in South Carolina, 2016 and those
released in Summary publications such as Crime in the United States or editions of Crime in
South Carolina prior to 2013 are strongly discouraged.
DEDICATION
This report is dedicated to all law enforcement officers—and in particular—to those who died in
the line of duty serving the citizens of South Carolina. One officer died in the line of duty in
2016:
Officer Allen L. Jacobs, Greenville Police Department, March 18, 2016

Information regarding deaths in the line of duty was furnished by the South Carolina Law
Enforcement Officers Hall of Fame.

INDEX OFFENSES

Eight Part I offenses comprise South Carolina’s crime index: murder, sexual battery,
robbery, aggravated assault, breaking and entering, motor vehicle theft, larceny, and
arson. These are typically categorized as violent (murder, sexual battery, robbery, and
aggravated assault) and property (breaking and entering, motor vehicle theft, larceny, and
arson) and provide basic measures of crime. Throughout this report, crimes are usually
presented either as the number of reported offenses or as the rate of offenses per 10,000
unit of population. Because it takes into account population, the crime rate usually
provides the most useful basis of comparison over time or among jurisdictions or other
geographical groups. The formula for calculating a crime rate is as follows:

𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝐶𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑠
𝐶𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 = × 10,000.
𝑃𝑜𝑝𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛

State and county population estimates used to calculate crime rates were acquired from
the Missouri Census Data Center (http://mcdc.missouri.edu).

Clearance rates provide a measure of the degree to which crimes are resolved. These are
calculated using the following formula:

𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝐶𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝐶𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑏𝑦 𝐴𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑟 𝐸𝑥𝑐𝑒𝑝𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑀𝑒𝑎𝑛𝑠


𝐶𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 = .

ARRESTS

Arrest counts provide a measure of law enforcement's response to crime. Arrest rates
also provide estimates of criminal offenses such as liquor law violations or driving under
the influence for which there are no victims who are likely to report the behavior. Arrest
practices, policies, and enforcement emphases vary from place to place and even within a
community over time. The arrest practices for certain unlawful conduct such as
drunkenness, disorderly conduct, vagrancy, and related violations may differ among
agencies. But the practices for robbery, burglary, and other serious crime arrests are
more likely to be uniform and consistent throughout all jurisdictions. Uniform Crime
Reporting procedures require that an arrest be counted on each separate occasion a person
is taken into custody, notified, or cited. Annual arrest figures do not measure the number
of individuals arrested, since one person may be arrested several times during the year for
the same or different offenses. In this report, arrests are presented either as the actual
number of arrests or as arrest rates per 10,000 unit of population. Arrest rates are
calculated using the following formula:

𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝐴𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑠
𝐴𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 = × 10,000.
𝑃𝑜𝑝𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛

State and county population estimates used to calculate arrest rates were acquired from
the Missouri Census Data Center (http://mcdc.missouri.edu). Arrest data for 2001 are not
available and are not included in any of the data tables or charts that follow.

JUVENILE ARRESTS
In addition to being a gauge of law enforcement's response to crime, arrests provide
reliable information concerning the age of apprehended offenders. Consequently, arrest
rates by age provide one of the better readily available measures of juvenile delinquency.
SCIBRS procedures require that an arrest be counted on each separate occasion a person
is taken into custody, notified, or cited. As a result, annual arrest figures do not measure
the number of individual juveniles arrested, since one juvenile might be arrested several
times during a year. State law sets the age of adult responsibility in most criminal
matters at seventeen years of age, so juvenile arrest rates were calculated on the basis of
the juvenile (age 0 through 16) population for each year from 1991 to 2016.

State and county population estimates used to calculate arrest rates were acquired from
the Missouri Census Data Center (http://mcdc.missouri.edu). Arrest data for 2001 are not

FAMILY AND INTIMATE VIOLENCE

This section examines murder, aggravated assault, simple assault, and intimidation
involving victims and offenders who have either a familial or romantic relationship with
one another. Familial relationships are defined as including the following victim-to-
offender relationships: child, stepchild, grandchild, sibling (brother or sister), stepsibling,
parent, stepparent, grandparent, in-law, and other family member. Intimate relationships
are defined as including the following victim-to-offender relationships: spouse, ex-
spouse, boyfriend/girlfriend, and same-sex relationships. The victim-to-offender
relationship might best be understood as describing who the victim of the assault was.
For example, if the victim-to-offender relationship is “child,” then the victim was the
child and the offender was a parent.

Victims must be reported with their relationship to each of the offenders in the incident.
When an incident has multiple offenders, individual victims will be reported with
multiple relationship types. Because an individual victim may be reported with multiple
relationship types, any one victim could contribute to the number of victims for more
than one relationship type. For example, if a victim was the child of one offender and the
sibling of another, that victim will contribute both to the number of victims who were
children of an offender and to the number of victims who were siblings of an offender.
Because individual victims appear in multiple relationship types, the percentages in the
tables will add up to more than 100% of total victims.
