Which offenses are excluded from ICR reporting?

Which offenses are excluded from ICR reporting?

• A. Traffic offenses
• B. All felonies
• C. Violent crimes
• D. White-collar crimes

Answer: (A)

In this type of reporting, the focus is on serious criminal activity that affects public safety and typically leads to arrest and formal prosecution. Traffic offenses are excluded from ICR reporting because they are usually administrative or regulatory violations handled through separate traffic records and enforcement channels, not the crime statistics used to gauge broader crime trends. So, traffic offenses don’t feed into ICR data. In contrast, felonies, violent crimes, and white-collar crimes are included because they represent substantive criminal activity requiring formal investigation and prosecutorial action, and they contribute to the overall view of crime in a community.
