Arrests
Metropolitan Counties
by Sex, 2007

The FBI collects these data through the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program.

General comments

• This table provides the number of males and females arrested in metropolitan counties in 2007. The table furnishes breakdowns of these data for each offense and supplies a percent distribution of males and females arrested among all offense types.
• The Metropolitan Counties classification encompasses jurisdictions covered by noncity law enforcement agencies located within currently designated Metropolitan Statistical Areas.  (See Area Definitions.)
• These data represent the number of persons arrested; however, some persons may be arrested more than once during a year. Therefore, the statistics in this table could, in some cases, represent multiple arrests of the same person.

Methodology

The data used in creating this table were from all metropolitan county law enforcement
agencies submitting 12 months of arrest data for 2007.

Population estimation

For the 2007 population estimates used in this table, the FBI computed individual rates of growth from one year to the next for every city/town and county using 2000 decennial population counts and 2001 through 2006 population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau. Each agency’s rates of growth were averaged; that average was then applied and added to its 2006 Census population estimate to derive the agency’s 2007 population estimate.
