Trends in Larceny: What You Need to Know

The Council on Criminal Justice has published the fact sheet Trends in Larceny: What You Need to Know at this link.

"The rate of larcenies reported to United States law enforcement agencies peaked in 1995; it then fell steadily through 2021, dropping to levels last seen in the mid-1960s, before rising in 2022.

The share of reported larcenies that involve shoplifting from commercial establishments has nearly doubled since the mid-1970s, from 11% to 21%.

Juvenile arrest rates for larceny were significantly higher than adult arrest rates in the four decades from 1980 through 2019; in 2020, however, the adult rate was higher.

The clearance rate for larcenies hovered between 15% and 20% for most of the past 60 years, but rose to a high of 22% in 2013-2014 before dropping to a record low of 12% in 2022."
