29% percent of all violent crime victims believed the offender (or offenders) were under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the offense--18% under influence of alcohol only, 6% drugs only, and 5% both alcohol and drugs. 35% of all crimes measured by the NCVS-- 42% of violent crimes and 74% of motor vehicle thefts--were reported to the police, according to the victims. The 1995 rate of violent crime was lower than in 1993 and 1994. Specifically, the crimes of rape/sexual assault, and aggravated assault showed significant declines between 1993 and 1995. The 1993-95 decline in violent crime applied to victims whether they were white or black; male or female. For black victims, the decline in violent crimes was gradual, with no significant year-to-year differences though 1995 was significantly lower than 1993. The overall rate of property crime declined significantly between 1993-94 and 1994-95. The rate of motor vehicle theft did not show significant decline each year, but did decrease over the period 1993-95.
