Which of the following is NOT typically considered a Part I Offense?

• A. Drug offenses
• B. Murder
• C. Robbery
• D. Burglary

Answer: (A)

Part I offenses are the eight index crimes used in the UCR, combining both violent and property crimes to track the most serious offenses. The list includes four violent crimes (murder and non-negligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault) and four property crimes (burglary, larceny/theft, motor vehicle theft, arson). Drug offenses, however, are not part of this index; they’re counted separately as Part II offenses. So drug offenses are not typically considered Part I offenses, while murder, robbery, and burglary are.
