Full Notification

Crime in Oklahoma has dropped – according to the newly published OSBI Uniform Crime Report. OSBI tracks seven index crimes, which include murder, rape, robbery, and property crimes. Murder dropped 14% in 2014 whereas rape increased 6.5%. This increase may reflect the change in FBI’s definition of rape.

This comprehensive report informs decision makers and the public as to what crime looks like in Oklahoma. It also gives law enforcement direction on resource allocation and allows them to address crime in their communities. The report includes clearance rates for violent crimes and an in-depth analysis of domestic violence in Oklahoma by county – a new addition to the report.
