Serious Crime Increases Only 4%;
83 Major Cities Reported Decrease
Votaw Happenings
By MRS. AMBER EASON
Attorney General Richard and local," the Attorney Gen-
G. KleindieHst announced to-
day that serious vcrime in the
United States increased • one
percent during the first nine
months of 1972—the smallest
increase since the FBI began
issuing quarterly reports in
I960*
■During the same period of
1971, serious crime increased
six percent. .The rate of in-
crease has been in a downward
trend since it peaked at 19
percent in 1968.
Mr. Kleindienst also report-
ed that 83 major cities record-
ed actual decreases in serious
crime during the. January-
through - September period,
compared with 52 cities dur-
ing the same period of 1971.
“This near zero growth rate
and the increasing number of
cities reporting actual decreas-
es reflect the concentrated and
cooperative efforts of all levels
of government—federal',' state,
eral said.,
The Nation’s capital con-
tinued to make significant pro-
gress in crime reduction. Seri-
ous crime in the District of
Columbia dropped JIT percent
during the nine-month period,
and violent crimes were down
23 percent, compared to the
same period a year ago.
The largest decreases in Dis-
trict of Columbia crime were
recorded in auto thefts, robber-
ies, and burglaries, all of
which were down by more
than 30 percent.
Violent crime in the United
States increased 3 percent dur-
ing the first nine months of
1972, compared with a 10 per-
cent increase for the same
period last year. Property
crimes showed no increase dun
ing the 1972 period, compared
