In examining arrest figures it is important to remember they do not personally identify individuals arrested but represent the total number of persons arrested. One person may be arrested several times during a year for the same type of crime or for different offenses. Each arrest would be counted. Furthermore, arrest figures cannot be compared to offense figures because several persons could be arrested for the same offense, or the arrest of one person may solve several offenses. Arrests are primarily a measure of police activity as it relates to crime. Although law enforcement arrest policies vary, particularly with respect to juveniles, contributors to this program are instructed to count one arrest each time an individual is taken into custody for committing an offense. A juvenile is counted as a person arrested when he commits an offense and the circumstances are such that if the offender were an adult, an arrest would be made. Arrest figures are counted the same in the IBR system as they were in the summary system. Below are the quarterly counts of arrests in both systems.
