Part I Offenses include which categories as classified by the FBI?

• A. Violent crimes like murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault; and property crimes like burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson
• B. Drug offenses only
• C. White-collar crimes only
• D. Traffic offenses only

Answer: (A)

Part I offenses are the set of index crimes the FBI tracks in the Uniform Crime Reports, divided into violent crimes and property crimes. Violent crimes include murder and non-negligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. Property crimes include burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson. The other categories—drug offenses, white-collar crimes, traffic offenses—are not Part I offenses; they fall into Part II or other classifications. So, Part I offenses encompass both the violent and property crime groups listed.
