CRIME

IN

SOUTH

CAROLINA

2017

Compiled and presented as a collaborative project between the South Carolina Law Enforcement
Division and the South Carolina Department of Public Safety.
INTRODUCTION
The 2017 edition of Crime in South Carolina contains general information about crime trends,
provides crime data at the county level for the most recent year available, and provides descriptive
information about crime. The intent of this publication is to provide statistical information about
crime in the state in a simple and straightforward manner so that it can better inform policymakers,
criminal justice practitioners, and researchers, as well as the general public.

The information presented in the tables, graphs, and charts in this publication indicate volume,
fluctuation, and distribution of crime in South Carolina on the basis of incident reports submitted
to the State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) by state and local law enforcement agencies. These
reports are edited and reviewed, corrected as needed, and compiled to form the basis of the
information presented in this report. It is important to note that the information in this report is
only as complete as the information submitted to SLED. Accordingly, unreported crimes are not
included.

Additionally, edits, updates, and corrections are made over a two-year period in order to provide
agencies with the maximum window of opportunity to report as fully and accurately as possible.
As a result, rates and totals from a specific year can vary from previously published totals for that
same year. The data used for this report were current as of December 11, 2018. Any data published
here concerning figures for prior years supersede those published in previous reports. The sum of
categories for some tables, charts, or graphs may not total 100% due to rounding. The percent
change in the rate per 10,000 inhabitants (or juveniles) is calculated from unrounded rates that are
not displayed in the tables.

A great deal of thanks and appreciation is due to the sheriffs, chiefs of police, state and local law
enforcement officers, as well as the administrative staff whose hard work gathering, reviewing,
and submitting crime and arrest data to the South Carolina Uniform Crime Reporting Program
made publication of this report possible. The report itself is the product of a collaborative
relationship between the SLED Uniform Crime Reporting Program and the South Carolina
Statistical Analysis Center located within the South Carolina Department of Public Safety’s Office
of Highway Safety and Justice Programs.
TRANSITION TO INCIDENT-BASED REPORTING
In 1991, South Carolina became one of the first states in the country to implement an incident-
based reporting (IBR) system certified by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). This new
system expanded on the previous Summary Reporting System (SRS) by requiring a higher degree
of detail in reporting. Whereas the SRS collected only eight Part I crimes (murder, rape, robbery,
aggravated assault, burglary, larceny, motor vehicle theft, and arson), the South Carolina Incident-
Based Reporting System (SCIBRS) currently collects in-depth data on 59 Group A offenses.

Additionally, the older Summary system allowed only the single most serious offense in an
incident to be reported; any other offenses in the incident—and the information associated with
them—were not collected. Initially, the SCIBRS allowed up to five separate Group A offenses to
be reported in each incident, collecting information on the offense characteristics, property,
victims, offenders, and arrestees associated with each offense. As of January 2017, the SCIBRS
now allows the reporting of up to ten separate Group A offenses in each incident.

While enough data was being collected using the new system to allow for historical trend reporting,
SCIBRS data continued to be converted back to Summary for publication in Crime in South
Carolina. This also facilitated comparison with the FBI’s statistical crime publications—such as
Crime in the United States—which converts all IBR data to Summary.

Crime in South Carolina, 2017 will be the fifth edition to feature exclusively IBR data. Because
of the significant differences between Summary data and SCIBRS data, any comparisons between
the figures published here in Crime in South Carolina, 2017 and those released in Summary
publications such as Crime in the United States or editions of Crime in South Carolina prior to
2013 are strongly discouraged.
DEDICATION
This report is dedicated to all law enforcement officers—and in particular—to those who died in
the line of duty serving the citizens of South Carolina. Four officers died in the line of duty in
2017:
Master Police Officer Jason G. Harris, Spartanburg Police Department, April 13, 2017

Master Deputy Devin P. Hodges, Anderson County Sheriff’s Office, June 1, 2017

Trooper Daniel K. Rebman, South Carolina Highway Patrol, October 24, 2017

Corporal James Eric Chapman, Johnston Police Department, December 8, 2017

Information regarding deaths in the line of duty was furnished by the South Carolina Law
Enforcement Officers Hall of Fame.

INDEX OFFENSES

Eight Part I offenses comprise South Carolina’s crime index: murder, sexual battery,
robbery, aggravated assault, breaking and entering, motor vehicle theft, larceny, and arson.
These are typically categorized as violent (murder, sexual battery, robbery, and aggravated
assault) and property (breaking and entering, motor vehicle theft, larceny, and arson) and
provide basic measures of crime. Throughout this report, crimes are usually presented
either as the number of reported offenses or as the rate of offenses per 10,000 unit of
population. Because it takes into account population, the crime rate usually provides the
most useful basis of comparison over time or among jurisdictions or other geographical
groups. The formula for calculating a crime rate is as follows:

𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁 𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶


𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶 𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅 = × 10,000
𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃

State and county population estimates used to calculate crime rates were acquired from the
Missouri Census Data Center (http://mcdc.missouri.edu).

Clearance rates provide a measure of the degree to which crimes are resolved. These are
calculated using the following formula:

𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁 𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶 𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶 𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸 𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀

ARRESTS

Arrest counts provide a measure of law enforcement's response to crime. Arrest rates also
provide estimates of criminal offenses such as liquor law violations or driving under the
influence for which there are no victims who are likely to report the behavior. Arrest
practices, policies, and enforcement emphases vary from place to place and even within a
community over time. The arrest practices for certain unlawful conduct such as
drunkenness, disorderly conduct, vagrancy, and related violations may differ among
agencies. But the practices for robbery, burglary, and other serious crime arrests are more
likely to be uniform and consistent throughout all jurisdictions. Uniform Crime Reporting
procedures require that an arrest be counted on each separate occasion a person is taken
into custody, notified, or cited. Annual arrest figures do not measure the number of
individuals arrested, since one person may be arrested several times during the year for the
same or different offenses. In this report, arrests are presented either as the actual number
of arrests or as arrest rates per 10,000 unit of population. Arrest rates are calculated using
the following formula:

𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁 𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴


𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅 = × 10,000
𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃

State and county population estimates used to calculate arrest rates were acquired from
the Missouri Census Data Center (http://mcdc.missouri.edu). Arrest data for 2001 are not
available and are not included in any of the data tables or charts that follow.

JUVENILE ARRESTS
In addition to being a gauge of law enforcement's response to crime, arrests provide reliable
information concerning the age of apprehended offenders. Consequently, arrest rates by
age provide one of the better readily available measures of juvenile delinquency. SCIBRS
procedures require that an arrest be counted on each separate occasion a person is taken
into custody, notified, or cited. As a result, annual arrest figures do not measure the number
of individual juveniles arrested, since one juvenile might be arrested several times during
a year. State law sets the age of adult responsibility in most criminal matters at seventeen
years of age, so juvenile arrest rates were calculated on the basis of the juvenile (age 0
through 16) population for each year from 1991 to 2017.

FAMILY AND INTIMATE VIOLENCE

This section examines murder, aggravated assault, simple assault, and intimidation
involving victims and offenders who have either a familial or romantic relationship with
one another. The victim-to-offender relationship might best be understood as describing
who the victim of the assault was. For example, if the victim-to-offender relationship is
“child,” then the victim was the child and the offender was a parent. Familial relationships
are defined as including the following victim-to-offender relationships: child, stepchild,
grandchild, sibling (brother or sister), stepsibling, parent, stepparent, grandparent, in-law,
and other family member. Intimate relationships are defined as including the following
victim-to-offender relationships: spouse, ex-spouse, cohabitants, ex-cohabitants, child in
common, boyfriend/girlfriend, and same-sex relationships.

Victims must be reported with their relationship to each of the offenders in the incident.
When an incident has multiple offenders, individual victims will be reported with multiple
relationship types. Because an individual victim may be reported with multiple relationship
types, any one victim could contribute to the number of victims for more than one
relationship type. For example, if a victim was the child of one offender and the sibling of
another, that victim will contribute both to the number of victims who were children of an
offender and to the number of victims who were siblings of an offender. Because individual
victims appear in multiple relationship types, the percentages in the tables will add up to
more than 100% of total victims.

In January 2017, SCIBRS began collecting cohabitants, ex-cohabitants, and child in


common victim-to-offender relationships at the recommendation of the South Carolina
Domestic Violence Task Force. The relationships described with these new values would
have previously been reported to SCIBRS under the boyfriend/girlfriend victim-to-
offender relationship. The boyfriend/girlfriend relationship remains available to report
dating relationships that are more than casual. SCIBRS also began collecting same-sex
victim/offender pairs under any intimate victim-to-offender relationship. SCIBRS
continues to accept the dedicated same sex relationship value while reporting agencies
transition to this new standard. Crime in South Carolina, 2017 is the first edition to publish
statistics with the new relationships and standard.
