Calculate Percentage of Reported Crimes Cleared
Formula:
CCR = [CC ÷ CR] × 100
where,CC = Crimes cleared
CR = Crimes reported
CCR = Crimes clearance rate
Example:
In 2010 there were 1,154 homicides cleared and 1,809 homicides reported. This equals a homicide clearance rate of 63.8 percent.
1,154 ÷ 1,809 = 0.63792 x 100 = 63.8 percent
