Criminal Justice Statistics for Washington, D.C., and Other Major Cities
This report presents criminal justice statistics for the District
of Columbia and other major cities based on (1) Crime Index data
and (2) arrestees' drug testing data. The 1999 Crime Index total
rates for these large cities ranged from a high of 10,416
offenses per 100,000 inhabitants in Detroit, Michigan, to a low
of 2,944 offenses per 100,000 inhabitants in San Jose,
California. For Washington, D.C., the 1999 Crime Index total
rate was 8,062 offenses per 100,000 inhabitants. According to a
recent National Institute of Justice (NIJ) report, 69 percent of
the adult males arrested in the District of Columbia in calendar
year 1999 tested positive for at least one type of drug. This
figure was five percentage points higher than the median rate (64
percent) of the use of any drug among the adult males arrested
that year in the 34 urban sites covered by NIJ's report.
