All violent crimes involve force or threat of force.
Property Crime Rate Property crime includes the offenses of burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson. The object of the theft-type offenses is the taking of money or property, but there is no force or threat of force against the victims. The classification of this offense, as for all other Crime Index offenses, is based solely on police investigation as opposed to the determination of a court, medical examiner, coroner, jury, or other judicial body. Forcible Rape Forcible rape, as defined in the Uniform Crime Reporting Program, is the carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will. Aggravated Assault Aggravated assault is an unlawful attack by one person upon another for the purpose of inflicting severe or aggravated bodily injury.
