T<\/span>he most common crimes in California<\/em> vary from one county to the next. The stats can also change a great deal. Still, there are some crimes that are more prevalent than others.<\/p>\n

Drug Related Crimes<\/h3>\n

One of the interesting things about drug-related crimes<\/em> in California is that the legalization of marijuana<\/a> has reduced the number of drug-related arrests each year. It\u2019s estimated that now that marijuana is legal law enforcement agencies have an additional $200 million that is used to deal with other types of crime.<\/p>\n

While legalizing marijuana has reduced the number of drug-related crimes the state deals with annually, drugs still take the biggest toll on California\u2019s legal system.<\/p>\n

Violent Crimes<\/h3>\n

The violent crime rate in California<\/em> fluctuates. It increased in 2012 and decreased by 2.9% between 2018 and 2019. According to data collected in 2019, 60% of the violent crime arrests were aggravated assault<\/a> only 1% involved homicides.<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n

DUIs<\/h3>\n

Despite all the warnings about combining alcohol and driving, DUIs still represent a major crime problem in California<\/em>. The good news is that people seem to be getting better about not drinking and driving<\/em>. In 2008, there were 208,845 DUI arrests in the state. In 2013 there were only 155,599 reported DUI arrests.<\/p>\n

Weapons Charges<\/h3>\n

Weapons charges represent a large chunk of California\u2019s crime problem, though there is a wide assortment of charges which range from quite minor to extremely serious. Given the complexity of California\u2019s laws regarding weapons, if you plan on carrying anything that could be considered a weapon it\u2019s in your best interest to spend a great deal of time reading through all of the laws that pertain to that specific weapon. Don\u2019t forget that weapon laws<\/em> can change from one county to the next.<\/p>\n

Property Crimes<\/h3>\n

A surprising number of property crimes take place each year in California<\/em>. The good news is that they appear to be decreasing. Two major California cities, Ventura<\/em> and Fresno<\/em> reported an impressive 10% decrease in property crimes<\/em> in 2019.<\/p>\n
