RSD Vehicle Counter Carjacking

Course Description

We all say it can never happen to us but what if it does?  Did you know that about 38,000 carjackings occur every year in the U.S and most are in urban and suburban areas not far from the victim’s home?  A report by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) shows the following:

  • 63 percent of carjackings occur within five miles of the victim’s home
  • 17 percent occurred at or near the victim’s home
  • 68 percent of carjackings occurred at night
  • 93 percent of carjackers are male, 3 percent female, and about 3 percent mixed male/female groups
  • 56 percent involved multiple assailants
  • 90 percent were committed against a single victim
  • 93 percent are committed in cities and suburbs
  • A weapon was used in 74 percent of carjackings
  • Guns, especially handguns, were the most common weapons used (45 percent), followed by knives (11 percent) and other types of weapons (18 percent)
  • 44 percent of incidents occurred in an open area (such as on the street) or near public transportation, and 24 percent happened in parking lots, garages, or near commercial businesses
  • About 15 murders a year are related to carjackings
  • Men were victimized more than women, and ethnic minorities more than whites
  • About 45 percent of attempted carjackings are successful
