Notes:
Hispanic origin is considered an ethnicity,
not a race. Hispanics may be of any race. UCR data presented
elsewhere does not include data on individuals of Hispanic
origin. As a result, UCR totals for Whites and Blacks both
include Hispanics. Hispanics are included in totals for
Whites and Blacks in UCR data but omitted from totals for
Whites and Blacks in the data from NYS DCJS above. For
this reason arrests rates for Whites and Blacks presented
above are difficult to compare with such rates derived
from UCR data.
Other: Includes Native Americans
and Asian.
