Arrests This section presents information on the number of arrests made by reporting law enforcement agencies in Butte County. The information reported in this section comes from the California Department of Justice’s 10 Year Arrest Data 2006-2015 file (https://openjustice.doj.ca.gov/data), and also appears in the annual Crime in California publication (https://oag.ca.gov/cjsc/pubs). The information summarized in this section includes: the number of arrests for different types of offenses, the race/ethnicity of arrestees, and the ages of arrestees. Two important caveats to keep in mind: the number of arrests represent the number of arrests made, not the number of individuals arrested (a person can be arrested more than one time), and the reported arrest offense is the most serious offense (the one with the most severe possible sanction).
