Ok. There is three different types. You have the Part I crimes(most serious your Crime Index crimes), Part II crimes which are all other crimes(not including traffic violations). Traffic violations are not counted towards the overall crime rate. They are simply their own category. What I was getting at, is that the dark figure of crime does not even begin to include traffic violations. It only includes Part I and Part II crimes.

My figures for clearance rate were a bit off. Murder is cleared 70% of the time, Aggravated Assault 58%, Rape 50%, Robbery 27%. Property crimes have a much lower clearance rate than Violent Crime. Now these are 1998 UCR figures. It fluctuates each year and I have seen much higher clearance rates before. It depends upon the city and the date. The UCR as a whole is a national snapshot.

I was driving to school yesterday and some dumb guy whipped by me with 15 sheriff troopers on his ass. He robbed a convenience store and was making his getaway. The police/sheriff people IDed him and they had the license plate and all (after all, they were like 2 ft off of his butt and on his right side) but they called the chase off once he got into Madison.

I was sitting there at the red light, the last car in the line, watching the troopers and the car approaching. I was bracing for impact just in case. I had my foot clamped on the break pedal. Thank god the idiot went through the empty left turn lane and then cut back into the regular road.

Watching the sheriff guys try to get him to run over those coiled up metal tire poppers was fun! They almost got him but the guy who tossed it out didn't have enough time and he just couldn't get it out far enough.

It is a strange thing to see a guy literally 10 ft from your window to his window flying past. I don't know what he was thinking but sometimes I thank God, and I'm not even religious, that I'm not an idiot.
