  • 1 The figures shown in the rape column include only those reported by law enforcement agencies that used the revised Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) definition of rape. See the data declaration for further explanation.
  • NOTE:  In 2018, the UCR Program transitioned from its legacy data collection system to an updated, modern platform during the UCR Technical Refresh, or UCR-TR. This renovation of how UCR collects, verifies, and estimates data may result in differences in UCR data compared with previous years that may be due to technical reasons rather than actual crime occurrences. See the data declaration for further explanation.
