Offense 90I(Runaway) is a person under 18 years of age who has left home without permission of his/her parent(s) or legal guardian.

In January 2011, the FBI UCR Program discontinued the collection of arrest data for the category of runaways. Agencies may continue to collect and submit data on runaways, but the FBI UCR Program will no longer use or publish those data. Should an agency wish to submit data on runaways, they can use the Group B Arrest Report format to report each incident, including the runaway’s apprehension for protective custody. If an LEA chooses to report runaways, the jurisdiction where the runaway resides should report the detention (pickup) of the runaway when another jurisdiction picks up the minor.

The Anomaly Reports go a step beyond the FBI’s validation rules and display incidents that may need additional attention to verify that the incident correctly reflects the details of the crime. These incidents may be correct as they are, but contain an unusual combination of data elements which may generate an FBI request for incident verification or correction.

Bad Checks*

Curfew/Loitering/Vagrancy Violations

Disorderly Conduct

Driving Under the Influence

Drunkenness*

Family Offenses, Nonviolent

Liquor Law Violations

Peeping Tom*

Trespass of Real Property

All Other Offenses

*FBI removal of Group B offenses include 90A Bad Checks, 90E Drunkenness, and 90H Peeping Tom, applicable January 1, 2021.  Rhode Island is still collecting these offenses.

The data found on Crime in Rhode Island Online represents crime reported to local and state law enforcement agencies and is not an exhaustive report of all crime that occurs. It is important to consider the various factors that lead to crime activity and crime reporting in a community before interpreting the data. Without these considerations the available data can be deceiving. Factors to consider include population size and density, economic conditions, employment rates, prosecutorial, judicial, and correctional policies, administrative and investigative emphases of law enforcement, citizens’ attitudes toward crime and policing, and the effective strength of the police force.

Wrongfully obtaining and/or using another person’s personal data (e.g., name and date of birth, Social Security number, driver’s license number).  This offense includes opening a credit card, bank account, etc. using a person’s information.

This offense should not be confused with Impersonation (26C) (falsely acting in the character or position to unlawfully deceive others to gain a profit or advantage; when impersonating another person, the offender would not be in possession of another person’s personal data).

Gaining access to another person’s or institution’s computer software, hardware, or networksbr /without authorized permissions.

Inducing a person by force, fraud, or coercion to participate in commercial sex acts, or in which the person induced to perform such act(s) has not attained 18 years of age.

All juveniles should be considered a victim of human trafficking if considered to be induced to perform commercial sex acts.

Human trafficking involves “exploitation” of the individual. Not every human trafficking incident should be based on the commercial sex act alone.

Survival sex is counted (Sex acts for food, shelter, etc.).

Ad-hoc Query located on the Reports Page is a search tool that provides a multitude of search criterion which the user can choose from for Group A and Group B incidents. 

This tool allows the user to download the search results as a CSV or Excel spreadsheet.  The user can select a segment to search (Admin, Offense, Property, Victim, Offender, or Arrestee).  Within the segment the user can search for a specific data element, value, and operator.  There is an unlimited number of data elements that can be searched.

Multiple criteria can be added or removed using this tool.  As the user keeps adding or deleting criteria to the query, the query results are modified accordingly.  To add another row (or rows) or criteria, click the + (plus) icon in the upper right corner.

Click the green ‘Search’ button.

The query results will display below the search criteria section.

Crime rates are indicators of reported crime activity standardized by population.  They are more refined indicators for comparative purposes than are volume figures. 

A crime rate, defined as the number of offenses per 100,000 population, is derived by first dividing a jurisdiction’s population by 100,000 and then dividing the number of offenses by the resulting figure. 

Example: 

a. Population for Jurisdiction, 75,000

b. Number of known burglaries for Jurisdiction for a year, 215

Divide 75,000 by 100,000 = .75

Divide 215 by .75 = 286.7

The burglary rate is 286.7 per 100,000 inhabitants.

The number .75 can now be divided into the totals of any offense class to produce a crime rate for that offense.  The same procedure may be used to obtain arrest rates per 100,000.
