  • 1 Because of changes in the state/local agency's reporting practices, figures are not comparable to previous years' data.
  • 2 The figures shown in this column for the offense of rape were reported using only the revised Uniform Crime Reporting definition of rape. See the data declaration for further explanation.
  • 3 The FBI determined that the agency's data were overreported. Consequently, those data are not included in this table.
