Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The FBI’s National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) has created an unprecedented opportunity to study police policies and practices in the enforcement of laws prohibiting non-predatory activity. In NIBRS, there are five non-predatory offenses. These “crimes against society.” are drug, gambling, weapon, prostitution, and pornography offenses. Tabulations of these counts indicate wide variation in the reporting of such offenses. For example, in 2002, 90 percent of the agencies submitting NIBRS data reported no prostitution offenses. Of the 3,803 NIBRS agencies that reported 3.8 million offenses in 46 crime categories in 2002 only 137 reported pornography offenses. Some agencies report no drug offenses. The goal of our study was to evaluate these variations, beginning with an examination of the census characteristics of cities with the highest rates of involvement for specific offenses and the characteristics of cities with no involvement for the same offenses. Although better answers will come when we combine the statistical analysis with interviews with police personnel, this study provides clues to the reasons for aggressive and non-aggressive police approaches to non-predatory crime.
