Existing law requires the Department of Justice to annually present a report to the Governor containing the statewide criminal statistics of the preceding year. Existing law also requires specified local agencies, including chiefs of police and sheriffs, to report statistical data to the department at the time and in the manner the department prescribes.
This bill would require that report, commencing with the report that includes data from 2022, to the extent the data is available, to include statistics on lewd or lascivious felonies, as defined, consistent with those reported for rape.
