City crime rate falls; violent crimes rise
The general crime rate in Lawrence during 1976 has declined along with property crimes, but violent crimes have increased, according to a recent police report.
Although the over-all rate dropped 6 per cent last year, violent crimes increased 12 per cent from the previous year, and property crimes decreased 8 per cent.
The greatest increase in violent crimes was in nonaggravated assaults. There were 127 more nonaggravated assaults in 1976 than in 1975, an increase of 201 per cent.
Violent crimes include murder, rape, robbery and assault. Property crimes include burglary, theft, car theft, arson, vandalism.
According to Maj. Darrell Stephens of the Lawrence Police Department, most nonaggrigated assaults are arguments or fist fights.
The greatest decrease in violent crimes was in aggravated assault, for which there were 107 fewer cases in 1976 than in the previous year—a decrease of 56 per cent.
In property crimes, grand larceny showed the greatest decrease. Grand larceny involves the dollars of $0 or more. In 1976, property crimes decreased from 35 percent than in 1975, a decrease of 38 per cent.
There was one murder in 1976, compared with two in 1975.
Twenty raps were reported in 1976, up 33 per cent from the 15 in 1975.

Hong Kong report says Chinese congress meeting
HONG KONG (AP)—Hong Kong's South China Morning Post reported today the Chinese Communist party congress may be 'n full session in Peking.
There was no confirmation of the report concerning a possible meeting of the congress, which held its last full session in January 1975—before the deaths of Chairman Mao Tse-tung and Premier Chou En-lai.
that members of the ruling central committee stationed in the provinces had arrived in the Chinese capital by night flights during the past two days.
The conservative daily said sources involved in Chinese affairs learned last night
It quoted visitors to China as saying people in many cities and rural areas were stocking firecrackers and fireworks to anticipate announcements from Peking.
Ming Pao, a respected Chinese-language daily, said Wednesday a still unidentified meeting was widely discussed by people in the southern Chinese city of Canton.
