2022 Crime Statistics (Distri - All)
This memorandum provides information related to the 2022 crime statistics.
Background
{city of
Carlsbad
Memo ID# 2023042
At the end of each calendar year, crime statistics are totaled and reported by the San Diego Association of Governments (SAN DAG). Crime reports are initially entered into an electronic report writing system (NetRMS) by Police Department employees, which, once approved by department supervisors, are transferred automatically to the Automated Regional Justice Information System (ARJIS) which is overseen by SAN DAG.
Statistics published by ARJIS are based on the date the crime report is transferred to ARJIS, not the dates on which the crimes were committed.
The SAN DAG Annual Crime Bulletin for 2022 reported the following crime statistics for the City of Carlsbad:
• Overall crime rate down 4% from 2021
• Violent crime rate down 5% from 2021
• Property crime rate down 4% from 2021
Discussion
In October 2022, it was discovered that 212 crime reports from 2017-2022 never transferred into ARJIS. An investigation revealed that the city's firewall software did not allow the Police Department to receive error reports from ARJIS when there were issues with reports being transferred to ARJIS. The city's Information Technology Department worked with the San Diego Sheriff's NetRMS programmers to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. The Police Department is now receiving report errors electronically. The Police Department has established a new protocol with ARJIS, which will proactively send the Police Department monthly reports indicating any cases with errors that are prohibiting the transfer of the case to ARJIS. Any defective case will be manually corrected and resubmitted.

Council Memo - 2022 Crime Statistics (Districts -All)
May 11, 2023
Due to ARJIS counting crimes based on the date reports are transferred to ARJIS, some of these crime reports will be reflected in the January/February 2023 statistics, not in the years the crimes actually occurred.
The following (59) cases were found to have occurred in calendar year 2022, however, will be counted in calendar year 2023 due to the date of transmission of the report to ARJIS:
• Fraud (10 cases)
• Burglary (5 cases)
• Grand Theft (23 cases)
• Assault (4 cases)
• Stolen Vehicle (6 cases)
• Robbery (10 cases)
• Rape (1 case)
If the above (59) cases would have been recorded by ARJIS within 2022 calendar year crime statistics, the crime rate change over calendar year 2021 would have been as follows:
• Overall crime rate down 2%
• Violent crime rate up 1%
• Property crime rate down 2%
Next Steps
The Police Department receives a monthly report from ARJIS of any cases not transferring to ARJIS. These cases will be corrected and transferred in a timely manner.

SANDAG
Research findings from the Criminal Justice Clearinghouse 401 B STREET , SUITE 800 I SAN DIEGO , CA 92101-4231 IT (619) 699-1900 IF (619) 699-6905 I SANDAG .ORG/CJ Introduction
Since 7980, SAN DAG has been reporting regional crime
statistics for the San Diego region through a cooperative agreement w ith local law enforcement agencies . This
report presents and discusses crime trend data for the
past 43 years, highlighting crime rates per 7,000 residents and the actual number of crimes reported. 1
SAN DAG is the only local entity to compile and analyze these statistics historically across the 78 incorporated cities and the unincorporated areas of the county, making this information some of the most frequently requested from
the SAN DAG Criminal Justice Clearinghouse . These data are useful to local law enforcement, policymakers , and the community in general for both tracking public safet y
trends over time and understanding the effectiveness of prevention and response effo rts on regional crime rates.
When interpreting these annual figures, it is essential to note that because of changes in how rape is defined by
the Federal Bureau of Investigation {FBI). comparisons
across time for rape and violent crime overall should be made w ith caution . Specifically, in 2075, California law enfo rcement agencies began to use the revised and
broader Uniform Crime Reporting {UCR} definition of rape that includes male victims , sodomy , penetration w ith any body part or object, and no longer requires force . As a result of this change , some Part I crimes that previously would have been aggravated assaults are now rapes, and
some Part II crimes that previously would not have been captured in these statistics are now Part I crimes.
It is also important to note that this is the final year that this report will include crimes reported through the UCR program . The UCR program has transitioned to the
National Incident-Based Reporting System {NIBRS) . With this transition to NIBRS , the overal I quality of crime data w ill improve as additional details of crime incidents w ill be collected, allo w ing for more timely and comprehensive data analysis. This federal transition means a state-level transition will be occurring; San Diego County law
enforcement agencies are in the process of transitioning to the California Incident-Based Reporting System {CIBRS}.
All future SAN DAG reports w ill include the new
standardized data after the transition is completed this year .

There was a total of 64,354 Part I crimes in the San Diego region in 2022 (Appendix Tables7 and 5), which equated to 79.47 crimes per 7,000 population (Appendi x Table2) . Part I crimes include four vio lent offenses (homicide, rape, robbery , and aggravated assault) and three property offenses (burglary , larceny, and motor vehicle theft) that are tracked nationwide in a standardized manner by the FBI, with agencies submitting crime data through the UCR program. Other crimes, such as drug-related offenses , vandalism, and fraud, also are documented by local law enforcement as Part II crimes. However, because catego rization schemes can vary across agencies, standardized numbers for Part II crimes are not available, even though these crimes may be sizeable in number and require substantial attention and resources from law enforcement.
Violent crime
In 2022 , there were 72,727 Part I vio lent crimes reported to law enforcement in the San Diego region, an increase of 2% from 2027 (Appendix Tables 7 and 6).2 The violent crime rate per 7,000 of 3.84 was also an increase of 2% from the 3.77 reported for 2027 (Figure 7). These rates indicate that 7 in every 267 individuals was the victim of a vio lent crime reported to law enforcement in 2022 (not shown).
The most common type of vio lent crime in 2022 was aggravated assault, which represented over two-thirds (77%) of all vio lent crime; robbery represented 27%, rape 7%, and homicide 7%. According to statistics from the National Crime Victimization Survey,3 46% of violent crime was reported to law enforcement nationwide in 2027 (the most recent year available), including 22% of rapes, 60% of robberies, and 67% of aggravated assaults (not shown).
As Figure 7 shows, the violent crime rate (per 7,000 population) in the San Diego region increased in the later part of the 7980s, reaching a peak of9.76 in 7992. Since then, it consistently declined, dropping to a 43-year low in 2074 (3.27) and then fluctuating somewhat, increasing to 3.84 in 2022 . Across jurisdictions, the 2022 vio lent crime rate ranged from 0.49 in 4S Ranch to 6.26 in Lemon Grove (Appendix Table 3).

Sources: SAN DAG; California Department of Finance; U.S. Census 1990; U.S. Census 2000; U.S. Census 2010; U.S. Census 2020 Over the past year, nine jurisdictions saw a decreased violent crime rate (ranging from -2% in El Cajon to -27% in Encinitas) and twelve saw increases (ranging from <7% in Spring Valley to 36% in Ramona). It is important to note that four jurisdictions had numbers too small for valid comparisons.
Annual statistics through 2020 from the FBI (the most recent annual crime rate data available) were used to compare changes over time in the violent crime rate reported in the San Diego region to those reported across the United States. As Figure 2 shows, the San Diego region experienced a greater rise in violent crime in the late 7980s and early7990s compared to the nation, returning to a similar violent crime rate after 7998. This increase Was possibly related to the prevalence of methamphetamine distribution and use and gang violence in the region during this time period . In 2020, the violent crime rate in the San Diego region was 3.46, versus
3.99 for the nation as a whole . In 2027 and 2022, the violent crime rate for the San Diego region slightly increased to 3.77 and 3.84, respectively, but still remained below the 2020 national average.

Homicide
Over the past 43 years, the number of homicides in the San Diego region peaked at 278 in 7997.
This high was followed by a steady drop and some fluctuations that included a low of 67 in 2070 . In 2022, there were a total of 707 homicides, which was 77 less than the 778 in 2027 (Appendix Table 7 and Figure 3).
Most frequently, homicides took place in the victim's residence (37%) or on a street or sidewalk (35%), and of the homicides with a known weapon, the most common weapon used was a firearm (60%). Most of the time, the suspect was known to the victim (59%). In 2022, motive could be determined for 84 of the 707 homicides by the time of this report . The most common motive was an argument (57%), followed by gang-related activity (75%). Other motives rounded out the remaining percentage and included child abuse, institutional murders, domestic violence, robbery, burglary , a lover's triangle, money/financial, and other unknown reasons (not . shown) .

Over the past 43 years, the number of robberies began an upward trend in 7984, which peaked at 8,554 in 7992. Since then, there has been a general decline, with some leveling off and fluctuations. There were 2,669 robberies reported in the region in 2022, an increase of70% from 2027 (Figure 5, and Appendix Tables 7 and 8). Compared to 2027, there were seven consecutive months (March through September) in 2022 with increases in robberies , and overall, there were more robberies in nine of the twelve months , with the only decreases in 2022 occurring in February, October, and December (not shown).

So u rce: SANOAC
As part of standardized UCR reporting requirements, the type of weapon used during a robbery and the location of the robbery are documented . In 2022, the majority of w eapons used during robberies (56%) were considered strong-arm (committed with a threat of force or intimidation that usually does not involve a weapon), followed by 77% that included weapons categorized as other (e.g., bat, stick, or other blunt object). 75% involving a firearm, and 73% a knife or other cutting instrument. The percentage of robberies involving firearms decreased by 3% in the past year, while the robberies that included the use of other weapons, strong-arm , and involving knives/other cutting w eapons increased by7 % each (not show n).
In 2022, 46% of robberies occurred in commercial establishments ; 36% out in the, open , on streets , or in other public places ; 9% in other locations (which include w ooded areas, churches, schools, and other public buildings); 7% in residences; and 2% in banks. Compa red to the past year, there w as a higher percentage of robberies in other locations {3%). businesses {2%). and banks (7 %), and few er in the open (-5%) (not shown). There was no change in the percentage of residential robberies .
For the 73jurisdictions with robbery numbers large enough for comparison, 70 had increases (ranging from 3% in Oceanside to 45% in San Marcos). two had decreases, (Escondido, 5% and Vista , 77 %) and one {Santee) saw no change (Appendi x Tablesl3 and 74).
43 Years o f C r i m e in t he San Di e go Re g ion: 1980 t hrough 202 2 7 Aggravated assault
Over the past 43 years, the number of aggravated assaults followed an upward trend from 7985 that peaked in 7994 (75,406). This overall increase was due at least in part to 7986 legislation requiring law enforcement agencies to report al I domesti c violence incidents . Since 7994 , these numbers have general ly declined , including in 2075 with the change in the rape definition .4 How ever, 2022 saw the seventh consecuti ve increase, bringing the number of assaults up to 9,003 , the largest number since 2004 (Figure 6, and Appendi x Tables 7 and 8).5
Like robbery , the ty pe of w eapon used in aggravated assaults is documented for reporting purposes . In 2022, 35% of aggra vated assaults involved the use of a w eapon labeled as 'other' (e.g ., bat, stick, or other blunt object); 33% hands, feet , or fists; 79% a knife or other cutting instrument; and 73% a firearm. Compared to 2027, there were decreases in the percentage of assaults that invol ved firearms and other types of w eapons (-4 % and -7 %, respecti vely), increases in the percentage invol ving hands, feet, or fists (5%), and there w as no percent change in the aggravated assaults involving a knife or other cutting instrument (not show n).
For the 27 jurisdictions w ith numbers large enough to compare, 77 experienced a one year decrease in the number of reported aggravated assaults (ranging from -7 % in Spring Val ley to -26 % in National City) and 70 experienced an increase (ranging from 7% in San Diego to 59% in Ramona) {Appendi x Tables 73 and 74).

Violent crimes against senior citizens
2005 2010 2015 2020
Due to the increased vulnerability of the elderly community , each jurisdiction voluntarily documents violent crimes committed against senior citizens (defined as indi viduals 60 years of age and older) . In 2022, there w ere 7,224 violent crimes against 8,900

Of the ten repo rting agencies, onl y seven had numbers large enough to compare over time, w ith five reporting one- year increases (ranging from 7% in El Cajon to 47 % in Oceanside) , San Diego reporting a decrease of 4 %, and National City reporting no change (not shown).
Of the 7,224 crimes committed against senior citizens, 20 w ere homicides, 34 rapes, 243 robberies, and 927 aggravated assaults. There w ere increases across all crime types, w ith the largest increase being in homicides; the senior citizen homicide rate doubled from the 70 that w as reported in 2027 to 20 in 2022 (not show n).
Property crime
The 2022 property crime rate, per 7,000 residents, of 15.57 w as 5% low er than in 2027 and is the second lowest in the past 43 years, follo w ing the 74.86 rate seen in 2020 (Figure 7). With 57 ,633 property crimes reported in 2022 (Appendi x Tablesl and 7). l in every 64 residents w as the victim of a reported propert y crime (not sho w n). According to statistics from the 2027 (the most recent yea r available) National Crime Victimization Surve y,6 37% of propert y crime nation w ide w as reported to law enforcement, including 47% of burglaries, 77% of motor vehicle th efts, and 26% of other thefts .
Most crime (80 %) reported to local law enforcement represents prope rty offenses . Of the reported property crimes , 64% were larcenies, 22% motor vehicle thefts , and 74% burglaries (not sho w n). Across the region , the 2022 property crime rates pe r l,000 residents ranged from 4 .54 in Ramona to 27.24 in Del Mar (Appendi x Table 4).7 Eleven jurisdictions had a higher property crime rate in 2022 compared to 2027 (ranging from <1% in Oceanside to 32% in Del Mar) and 73 had a low er rate (ranging from -7 % in Encinitas to -29% in Valle y Center) . When interpreting these statistics , it is important to note that a variety of factors can affe ct a jurisdiction 's crime rate, such as daytime population and accessibil ity.

Figure 8 compares property crimes reported to law enforcement in the San Diego region to national statistics from 7980 through 2020 (the most recent annual rate available). In 7980, the San Diego region had a higher property crime rate compared to the U.S. overall. The local property crime rate began to decline in the early7990s, falling and remaining below the national average since 7995. In 2020, the property crime rate for the region was 74.86, compared to 79.58 for the nation. In 2027 and 2022, the property crime rate for the San Diego region slightly increased to
76.32 and 75.57, respectively, but still remained below the 2020 national average.

Burglary is the unlawful entry of a structure to commit a felony or theft. As shown in Figure 9, the number of burglaries (including residential and non-residential) reported in the region declined between 1980 and 1984 and then began an upward trend, reaching 35,233 in 1988. Three years later, an eight-year decline began, which was followed by a small number of inc reases, and then a general decline. The 7,359 reported burglaries in 2022 represented a 3% increase from the 7,173 reported in 2021 and is the first increase in burglaries in the past ten years (Appendix Tablesl and 8). In 2022, three in five (60%) burglaries were categorized as forced entry, 36% as non-forced entry, and 4% as attempted/unsuccessful (not shown) . It is important to note that wit hin the past five years, the percentage of forced entry burglaries has consistently increased, from 41% in 2018 to 60% in 2022.

Of the 7,359 burglaries reported in the San Diego region in 2022, 41% were residential, which equates to l in every 382 households being burglarized -five years ago this ratio was l in every 243 (Appendix Tables 8 and 10). Over the past year, the number of residential burglaries decreased by 6% (from 3,233 in 2021 to 3,037 in 2022), whi le the number of non-residential burglaries increased by 10% (3,940 in 2021 to 4,322 in 2022) (not shown).

43 Years of Crime in the San Diego Region : 7980 through 2022 ll Larceny
Larceny, or theft, is the most common crime, with 7 in every 707 residents being a victim in 2022 (not shown). In the early7980s, the number of larcenies fluctuated; but beginning in 7985, the number of larcenies began an upward trend, peaking at 85,448 in 7989, and then decreasing to a low in 2000. Since then, there have been increases and decreases, including an 8% decrease from 2027 (35,767} to 2022 (32,974) (Figure 70, and Appendix Tables 7 and 8). This decrease was substantial, making the 2022 number the second lowest in the past 43 years; the 2022 value is only trailing behind the 43-year low (32,865} in 2020 by 49 incidents. Compared to 2027, larcen y rates in 2022 decreased for nine consecutive months (April through December) with the highest decrease being in September (-78%} (not shown).

The most common larceny type (historically and in 2022} was theft from motor vehicles (34%}, w ith the second most common being from buildings (27%), other (72%}, and shoplifting (77%).
Aside from the percentage of thefts from motor vehicles (which decreased by 7%) and bicycle thefts (which remained at the same rate), all other types of larcenies increased over the past year (buildings3%, other 2%, shoplifting 2%, and motor vehicle parts 7%). Forty-three percent (43%} of larcenies in 2022 were petty thefts involving property valued at $400 or less (not shown}. 8 Across the region, 74 jurisdictions reported an annual decrease (ranging from <-7% in Chula Vista to -35% in Valley Center) and 77 reported increases in the number of larcenies (ranging from <7% in Spring Valley to 23% in Poway) (Appendix Table 73 and 74). • It is important to note that Coronado Po lice Department (CPD) transitioned to CIBRS reporting in August 2021, and as a result their larceny category for $200 and over is included and reflected in this report as $400 and over. 43 Years of Crime in the San Diego Reg ion: 7980 through 2022 72 Motor vehicle theft
Figure 77 shows the number of motor vehicle thefts in the region for the past 43 years. Starting in 7983, the number of motor vehicles stolen in the San Diego region increased annually, reaching a high in 7989 of 40,897 . Similar to the other propert y crimes, this upward trend w as follo w ed by short periods of increases and decreases, and then a decline to the low of 9,325 in 2020 (Appendi x Table 8). Since then, there have been fluctuations, w ith an increase of 2% this past year, from 77,754 in 2027 to 77 ,360 in 2022 (Appendi x Table 7). Looking at month-to-month data in 2022 and 2027, there w ere more vehicles stolen in 8 of the 72 months in 2022, w ith seven consecutive months of increases occurring from February through August (not shown).
The 2022 number equates to 7 in every 257 registered motor vehicles being stolen. In terms of dollar amount, the value of these stolen vehicles was estimated at around $739.90 million , representing 46% of the total value of property stolen in 2022 (not shown).

43 Years of Crime in the San Diego Reg ion: 1980 through 2022 Identity Theft
Whi le Part I property
crime was the second
lowest it has been in the
past 43 yea rs, it is
important to note that
identity theft, which
various sources have
noted is increasing, is
currently not captured in
t he sta t istics presented
here.
What do we know about
identity theft nationa lly?
According to the Bureau
of Justice Statistics , in 2078
9% of all U.S. residents age
76 or older had been
victims of identity theft in
the past 72 months.
Additional ly,
White/Caucasian, those
between 35 and 49, and
those w ith higher
household incomes w ere
more likely to be identity
theft victims. Around half
(46 %) of those who
repor t ed a recent
victimization said that
they discovered the theft
when they were contacted
by a financial institution
and an estimated 7% of all
identity -theft victims
reported the crime to
police. Three-quarters
(75 %) did not know how
the offender obtained
their personal infor m at ion
and 94% did not know
anything abo ut the
offender.
13 Arson
Unlike other FBI Inde x offenses , w hen arson is committed in concert w ith anothe r FBI Inde x offense, both incidents must be reported, w hich is w hy arson is presented separately from othe r p roperty crime statistics . There w ere 547 arsons reported in 2022, w hich w as a 20 % increase from the 454 reported in 2027 (Appendi x Tables73 and 74). Tw enty-four percent (24% ) of arsons in 2022 w ere structures and 76% w ere categorized as mobile and other non-structural property ty pes (not show n) .
Domestic violence
Law enforcement agencies also track domestic violence incidents , some of w hich are included in the previously reported numbers in this bulletin . For example, a domestic violence incident could include a Part I violent crime (e.g., aggravated assault) or some type of propert y crime (e.g., burglar y). Since 7986, w hen mandator y reporting w as enacted , the num b er of domestic violence incidents has varied from 77 ,474 in that year to a high of 29,306 in 7994 (Figure 72). In 2022 , a total of 77.472 incidents w ere reported to law enforcement , a 4 % decrease from 2027 (Appendi x Table 9).
Across the jurisdictions (w ith large enough numbers to compa re), 72 reported one year decreases in the number of domestic violence incidents (ranging from <-7 % in Chula Vista to -37% in Encinitas) and 6 reported increases (ranging from 2% in Vista to 70% in Escondido and La Mesa) (Appendi x Table 9).

74 Hate crimes
As part of the California Penal Code (PC), the Attorney General is required to submit an annual report to the Legislature regarding crimes motivated by a victim's race/ethnicity , religion , gender , sexual orientation , national origin, or physical or mental disability. According to the California PC, a hate crime is a criminal act committed in w hole or in part because of the actual or perceived characteristics of the victim . Thus , hate crimes are not separate , distinct crimes , but rather traditional offenses specifically moti vated by the offend er's bias .
Beginning in 2008, local law enforcement agencies began sharing hate crime reports that w ere submitted to the state w ith SAN DAG to allo w for a more detailed anal ysis of San Diego County crimes (these details w ere not . available in the state report) . In 2022, a total of 86 hate crime events were reported by law enforcement across the region, w hich included a total of 708 victims and 82 know n suspects. Compared to last year, the number of events increased by 6% (Figure 73).
In 2022 , hate crimes w ere reported by police departments in Carlsbad , Chula Vista , Coronado , El Cajon , Escondido , National City , Oceanside, and San Diego; the Sheriffs Department {for the jurisdictions of Encinitas , Fall brook, San Marcos, Santee , Solana Beach, Vista, and other unincorporated areas) ; the Harbo r Police ; and the San Diego State University Police Department(not show n).

Other hate crime information compiled for this summary includes the follo w ing:
• Of the 86 reported events, 64% appeared to be motivated by race , ethn icity, or national origin; 22% by sexual orientation; 73% by religion; and 7% by disability ; this year, no reported hate crimes appeared to be moti vated by gender . Of the 55 incidents related to the v ictim's actual or percei ved race/ethnicit y/national origin, 45% of bias moti vation w as described
as being anti-Black, 20% anti-Hispanic , 9% anti- Asian , 9% anti-other , 5% anti-multiple 43 Years of Crime in the San Diego Region : 7980 through 2022 75 races, 5% anti-White, 4% anti-Arab, and 2% were related to one 's nationality . • Of the 86 events where a victim description was available, the type of victim was an individual (or multiple individuals) in 83% of cases, a business 9% of the time, a religious organization 5%, and the government 4%. Of the victims who had their gender documented (88), sixty-si x percent (66%) were male.
• Of the 86 events w here the location was noted, 22% occurred on a high w ay, road, alley , or street; 15% at a residence, home, or dri veway; 14% at a business; 12% at a school or college ; 10% in a parking lot or garage ; 8% in an outdoor location ; 6% some w here else; 3% at a church , synagogue , or temple; 3% at a government or public building ; 2% in a jail or prison; and 1% at an air or bus terminal.
• Of the 95 documented offenses (there can be multiple offenses for one event), 76% were described as violent, which included 27 simple assaults, 18 acts of intimidation, and 23 aggravated assaults. The rest of the hate crimes were property-related {24%) and included 23 incidents of destruction or damaging of property in some w ay, including vandalism.
Clearance rates
A crime can be cleared for reporting purposes w hen at least one person is arrested or there are "exceptional means " (e.g., offender 's death, extradition, etc.). 9 The clearance rates in 2022 varied by crime type, with violent crimes cleared more frequently than property crimes. Overall, 46% of violent crimes that were open for investigation in the region were cleared (with a range across jurisdictions of 34% in Chula Vista to 82% in Ramona), compared to 9% of property crimes (with a range of 5% in Chula Vista to 32% in Santee) (Appendi x TableslS and 16).
As Figure 14 shows , homicide and aggravated assault had the highest clearance rates (84 % and 51 %, respectivel y), w hich may be due to the fact that these crimes receive ma ximum resources give n the seriousness of the crime and for assault involve individuals with face-to face contact w ho also may already know one another . While the motor vehicle theft clearance rate is the lowest of the seven Part I crimes , it is important to note that the vehicle recovery rate is considerably higher (not shown). 10
