  • 1 The term victim may refer to an individual, business/financial institution, government entity, religious organization, or society/public as a whole.
  • 2 The figures shown in this column are individual victims only.
  • 3 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.
  • 4 Includes additional offenses collected in the National Incident-Based Reporting System. See Methodology.
  • 5 A multiple-bias incident is an incident in which one or more offense types are motivated by two or more biases.
  • Note: The aggregate of adult and juvenile individual victims does not equal the total number of victims because total victims include individuals, businesses, institutions, and society as a whole. In addition, the aggregate of adult and juvenile individual victims does not equal the aggregate of victims of crimes against persons because not all law enforcement agencies report the ages of individual victims.
