    FBI Reports Violent Crime Down Last Year

    POSTED: 9:45 am EDT October 25, 2004

    WASHINGTON -- The FBI said the number of violent crimes declined last year.

    Its annual crime report shows there were just under 1.4 million crimes of murder, manslaughter, rape, robbery and aggravated assault in 2003. That's 3 percent less than in 2002 and more than 25 percent less than in 1994.

    However, it said the number of murders in the country was up. It said there were 16,503 slayings reported to police last year -- a 1.7 percent increase from 2002.

    Also, the FBI said property crimes such as burglary and theft were down slightly.
