Summary

"This report provides the latest information about violent crime levels in 168 jurisdictions that responded to PERF’s latest crime survey. In order to maintain consistency with PERF’s two previous violent crime reports, which tracked a smaller sample of 56 jurisdictions, our analysis of crime trends is based only on the original 56 jurisdictions. This report also provides details about changes in policies and programs recently undertaken to reduce crime in all 168 jurisdictions that responded to our survey. And it presents the views of more than 100 chiefs and sheriffs who attended PERF’s second Violent Crime Summit, held in suburban Chicago in September 2007, about the causes of violence, the programs and policies departments have undertaken to reduce violence, and which programs and policies policing leaders believe are most promising."--Page iv.
