2017 Homicide Clearance Rate

Legal Outcome	Homicides
No Suspect Charged	570
Suspect Charged	78
Self-Defense	12
Police-Involved	11
Murder-Suicide	4

The clearance rate is a calculation of Total Homicide Suspects Charged/(Total Homicides – Police involved – Self Defense – Murder/Suicides). Regardless of how many people are charged in relation to a single homicide, it’s only counted as one suspect for calculation purposes. The rate has nothing to do with criminal proceedings and convictions (or lack thereof).
