Theft, Person reports in Los Angeles

What 1,441 Theft, Person reports measure

1,441 rows are coded Theft, Person: taking from a person as LAPD labeled it. In this feed the string is not robbery (taking by force or fear) and is not pickpocket unless LAPD published that separate label on the same row.

The official published label is "Theft, Person." LocalCrimeVault does not rewrite that string. The 1,441 figure is a count of incident records, not unique people, not recovered wallets or phones, and not a dollar-loss total the packet does not contain. Property-taking categories without this person-theft label sit elsewhere in the 400,500-row city file.

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 Theft, Person, it stays under that string here even when a reader might say "stolen purse" or "snatch." This page does not split the 1,441 rows into bag, phone, or transit 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. Everyday speech uses theft, robbery, and pickpocket as if they were one category. LAPD did not. Robbery and named pickpocket rows remain outside the 1,441 total. Other agencies may file similar events under larceny-from-person names that never appear in this list.

Theft, Person as a share of Los Angeles reports

Relative to 400,500 Los Angeles incidents in this extract, 1,441 reports coded Theft, Person are about 0.4 percent of the city file. That share describes labeling volume. It does not say which neighborhoods experienced more reports; geography lives on the table, not in this headline.

Keep the denominator in view: 0.4 percent of the indexed city total is not 0.4 percent of all harm in Los Angeles, and it is not a crime rate. Rates need a population or ridership denominator that this packet does not include.

Reports, not convictions

A Theft, Person 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 1,441 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 Theft, Person table

The type hub lists the 1,441 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 transit stop or business was involved.

Nothing in the 1,441 count tells you clearance, restitution, or whether property was recovered. Those outcomes are outside this extract. If a filter reduces the table, you have left the headline on purpose. Quote the type hub for the headline; quote a filtered view only if you name the filter.

Where to go next in the Los Angeles data

Use the Los Angeles type hub for the live table of these 1,441 rows. The city-wide Los Angeles hub places Theft, Person beside robbery, pickpocket, and other theft labels so the 0.4 percent share is visible in context. 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 1,441 / 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 1,441 indexed reports for Theft, Person against a city file of 400,500 reports. LocalCrimeVault indexes the public incident feed for Los Angeles. Do not treat this guide as a live dispatch feed, a victimization survey, or a court docket. If a later harvest moves the integer, the new snapshot is a new citation.

Questions

How many Theft, Person reports are in the Los Angeles index?

This extract includes 1,441 Los Angeles incidents coded Theft, Person. That is about 0.4 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 Theft, Person the same as robbery or pickpocket?

No. This page covers only rows whose published type is Theft, Person (1,441 reports). Robbery and pickpocket are separate LAPD strings when they appear on the feed. Mixing categories would inflate totals and blur what each label records. Use the city hub if you need the mix of all types against 400,500 reports.

Does a Theft, Person 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 1,441 count should be read as report volume. Court records live outside this narrative.

Where does LocalCrimeVault get Los Angeles Theft, Person 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.
