While property crime decreased across the U.S. in 2020, it spiked in Utah. The jump seems to be fueled by car-related thefts.
“It affects us as a community and affects individuals,” one expert said of property crime, including car thefts and home burglaries.
Kivlovitz, who is a social worker, said he doesn’t resent whoever took his things because he assumes they needed them. They also stole a hat and sweater, he said. “So in short,” Baughman said, “the reason why Utah’s property crime rates might be higher than other states is because we do not have enough police presence to act as a deterrent for crime.”
But Biesinger said some property offenses did stick out to her in 2020 — car thefts, and a 40.7% increase in arson offenses in 2020, which she attributed to civil unrest that summer. “They had a picture of the guy, and they had a potential location of where the laptop was, but still nothing came out of it,” he said. “Or if it did, nobody told me.”
