Premises Liability Crime Data Reports

What We Provide

Crime Search, Inc. prepares crime data reports for a specific property and its surrounding area, built from crime records reported by law-enforcement agencies. Each report is organized so attorneys, their experts and the court can review the data clearly.

• Crime at the location: reported offenses at the property address, including common-area and multi-address properties.
• Radius analysis: reported violent crime within a defined radius of the property, such as 0.10 mile, 1/4 mile or 1/2 mile.
• Time periods that fit the case: crime data for the years before the incident date, organized by year and by crime category.
• Supporting data: incident-level records (incident number, offense, date, time and address) delivered in Excel, so every number in the report can be traced to a source record.
• Summary Reports and full written reports: from a one-page summary to a complete written crime analysis report.

Why Attorneys Use Crime Search, Inc.

• Over 35 years of experience with law-enforcement-reported crime data in civil litigation.

• Offense reports, not calls for service. Reports are built from reported offenses, and records are reviewed and de-duplicated so one incident is counted once.
• Consistent crime categories (murder, sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, theft and auto theft) applied the same way across every agency's data.
• Coordinate-based radius measurement checked against the source records.
