6.08 Property Crimes

This page includes data on property crime from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI defines property crimes as those involving the taking of money or property without force or threat of force against the victims. Property crimes technically include burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson; however, because of limited participation and varying collection procedures by police, arson data are not included in total number of property crimes.

Notes

County-level data are aggregated from data reported by the county sheriff’s offices, municipal police departments, and campus police departments serving each county. Crime data reported by the Appleton Police Department and Menasha Police Department, both of which serve multiple counties, are assigned to Outagamie and Winnebago Counties respectively for the purposes of this report.

As of December 2019, the data and data source shown on this website have been changed from previous publications in order to ensure data consistency over time.
