		Crimes are classified without regard to the findings of courts or juries, since the statistics are gathered primarily to assist in identifying areas of concern to law enforcement officers, and not meant to reflect the outcomes of inquests, hearings or trials.
		The crimes were selected for use as an index on the basis of their serious nature, their frequency of occurrence, and the reliability of reporting from citizens to law enforcement agencies.
		The index, or crime index, consists of the counts used as indicators of the crime picture in a given jurisdiction (state, county, city).

	Crime Foreseeability, security consultant, Chris McGoey, crime foreseeability expert
		Crimes committed eight blocks away from a site are of little use in relation to many premises, especially if major physical or psychological barriers exist, such as a freeway or railroad track between the two areas.
		Elements involved in evaluating previous crime are a determination of which crime classifications are relevant, the relevant radius around the incident, the proper time frame, the type and precision of data available, and an estimate of the proportion of crimes that are officially documented.
		If a particular crime on a premises is believed to be not foreseeable by the court, to the extent that it finds that no reasonable jury could find otherwise, then the issue becomes a matter of law, not fact, and can be dismissed by the court in response to a motion for summary judgment.

	Expanding the Offender Index of the New York State DNA Data Bank
		The combined result of adding more offenders to the index and indexing many offenders earlier in their careers was that the All-Crime Index more than tripled post-indexing coverage—from 12.3% to 39.8%—covering about four in ten of all VFO arrests in the cohort.
		Crime switching was more likely to occur within broad crime types than between them, but between-type transitions, such as violent to property and vice versa, were not altogether uncommon (Chaiken and Chaiken, 1982).
		The existing Offender Index was analyzed in a companion study to this report which examined the initial 100 hits—forensic-to-offender matches—on the DNA Data Bank.
