  • 1 The sum of offenses by the known offender's ethnicity does not equal the sum of offenses by the known offender's race because not all law enforcement agencies that report offender race data also report offender ethnicity data.
  • 2 The figures shown in this row 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 Includes additional offenses collected in the National Incident-Based Reporting System. See Methodology.
