title: The 2002 IAHSS survey--crime in hospitals.
abstract: The 2002 IAHSS crime survey reverses a decade-long trend that generally reported declines in property crimes. In 2002, three of the four property crime categories--burglary, larceny theft, motor vehicle theft--showed increases amounting to a 20% growth in reported crimes per hospital over 2001. There was also a 20% increase in vandalism per hospital reported. Violent crime categories, however, while showing slight decreases, continued the 10-year pattern of minimum change, either upward or downward.
