Executive Summary
An annual release since 1975, Crime in Maryland reports crime statistics provided by Maryland Law Enforcement agencies to the State's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program. Crime in Maryland details crime incidents, clearance rates, arrests, law enforcement officers killed and assaulted, and law enforcement employee data. Statewide, county, municipality, and reporting agency perspectives are presented within the report. The statewide UCR Program was developed to report crime in Maryland to the National UCR Program administered by the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Maryland program has evolved to collect and report data on domestic violence, hate bias and carjacking incidents and arrests. Reports and statistics pertaining to hate bias and their associated arrests are released in a separate publication to facilitate detailed reporting.

These index crimes are murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, breaking or entering, larceny-theft and motor vehicle theft. Although not an index crime, data pertaining to the crime of arson is also collected, analyzed and reported through this report.
