TRNS – More than half of the nation’s violent crimes, or nearly 3.4 million violent victimizations per year, went unreported to police between 2006 and 2010, the Bureau of Justice Statistics said in a report.

During the five-year period, about three in 10 crimes involving a weapon and an injury went unreported. Serious violent crime, defined as rape or sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated assault, was less likely to go unreported to the police in 2010 than in 1994.
