Disclaimer
These
statistics are provided for general use only. The statistics are
compiled and categorized using standards set by the FBI Uniform Crime
Report (UCR) program and may not conform to local or state criminal
statute definitions. For official UCR statistics, please refer to
the FBI site for official state and local statistics.
Nearly
17,000 agencies nationwide voluntarily participate in the UCR
program. Due to reporting variances and because the definitions of
offenses vary from area to area, the FBI discourages using UCR statistics
to compare the crime rates of individual cities or
states.
