There is a curious discrepancy between the number of burglaries reported by Kennesaw's mayor in interviews cited by Kleck (1988) and Schmidt (1987a) and the number of burglaries reported by Kennesaw's police department to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's police department to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) system. The mayor claimed to Schmidt, for example, that there were 55 residential burglaries in 1981, before he law was passed. This is greater than the total number of all burglaries -- residential and otherwise -- reported by the police department to the UCR. Given the mayor's spirited advocacy of the ordinance and the apparent differences in the figures he provided in separate interviews cited by Schmidt and by Kleck, we believe the UCR counts are the more accurate of the two.
