Other Assault reports in Los Angeles

What 1,398 Other Assault reports measure

1,398 rows are coded Other Assault as LAPD labeled them. Other Assault is a residual assault string on this feed, not a combined total of every assault-related label in Los Angeles.

Battery - Simple Assault, assault with a deadly weapon, and intimate-partner assault strings are separate published types. Do not add them to 1,398 unless you list every label included. The official published label is "Other Assault." LocalCrimeVault does not rewrite that string. The 1,398 figure is a count of incident records, not unique people, not injury severity, and not hospital cases.

How LAPD type labels work on this feed

Every row on the Los Angeles open-data incident extract carries a type field drawn from LAPD crime-code / MO category as published. If a report was written as Other Assault, it stays under that string here even when a reader might file it under battery or simple assault. This page does not split the 1,398 rows into subtypes the packet does not contain.

A primary type is not a criminal conviction and is not a UCR hierarchy rule applied after the fact. A single field event can involve more than one offense; the public extract typically exposes one published type per row. Other agencies may file similar events under battery, assault 3, or miscellaneous assault names that never appear in this Los Angeles Other Assault list.

Other Assault as a share of Los Angeles reports

Relative to 400,500 Los Angeles incidents in this extract, 1,398 reports coded Other Assault are about 0.3 percent of the city file. That share is a statement about how LAPD labeled the public feed. High-volume battery and theft types dominate tables; a residual assault label can still be the string a researcher needs to keep separate.

Keep the denominator in view: 0.3 percent of the indexed city total is not 0.3 percent of all harm in Los Angeles, and it is not a crime rate. Rates need a population denominator that this packet does not include.

Reports, not convictions

An Other Assault row means a report was taken and coded. It does not mean a prosecutor filed a charge, a judge entered a finding, or a person was identified. Treating 1,398 as a conviction tally would overstate legal outcomes and understate how much volume in a big-city feed never reaches court.

Los Angeles Police Department publishes the underlying incidents through LA Open Data. LocalCrimeVault indexes that feed. If the agency later updates a record, the public count can move. This page describes the extract as harvested, not a forecast and not a neighborhood safety score.

How to read the Other Assault table

The type hub lists the 1,398 rows with the fields LAPD shares publicly: date, coarse location, and related attributes. Block ranges are intentionally coarse. They are not street-number addresses, and they are not proof that a named person was involved. Sort and filter the table; do not treat the headline as a story.

Nothing in the 1,398 count tells you clearance, injury, or whether the event was later recoded to a more specific assault string. Those outcomes are outside this extract. If a filter reduces the table, you have left the headline on purpose.

Where to go next in the Los Angeles data

Use the Los Angeles type hub for the live table of these 1,398 rows. The city-wide Los Angeles hub places Other Assault beside battery and aggravated-assault labels so the 0.3 percent share is visible without merging residual and named assault types. A cross-city view of the same type slug exists; definitions still follow each agency's feed.

If you are documenting a method, record the extract and the 1,398 / 400,500 pair. Open-data crime files are living tables. A later harvest can add late-submitted reports or drop rows the agency has sealed or corrected. Cite the overlay table for row-level fields. Keep reports and convictions in separate sentences.

The headline count on this page is 1,398 indexed reports for Other Assault against a city file of 400,500 reports. LocalCrimeVault indexes the public incident feed for Los Angeles. Residual assault remains a separate series from battery and aggravated-assault hubs. If a later harvest moves the integer, the new snapshot is a new citation.

Questions

How many Other Assault reports are in the Los Angeles index?

This extract includes 1,398 Los Angeles incidents coded Other Assault. That is about 0.3 percent of 400,500 city incidents indexed on LocalCrimeVault. The figure counts police reports from LA Open Data, not convictions, arrests, or unique offenders. LAPD assigned the type; LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges.

Is Other Assault the same as battery or aggravated assault?

No. This page covers only rows whose published type is Other Assault (1,398 reports). Battery and named aggravated-assault strings on the Los Angeles feed are separate. Mixing categories would inflate totals and blur what each LAPD string records. Use the city hub if you need the mix of all types against 400,500 reports.

Does an Other Assault incident mean someone was convicted?

No. Public incident rows are reports. They can remain in the open-data feed if no arrest was made, if charges were declined, or if the case was later unfounded and not yet removed. The 1,398 count should be read as report volume. Court records live outside this narrative.

Where does LocalCrimeVault get Los Angeles Other Assault counts?

Counts come from Los Angeles Police Department incidents published on LA Open Data and indexed here. Offense types are LAPD crime-code / MO category as published. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges. Compare the type table with the Los Angeles hub if you need this label next to the other 400,500 city reports.
