Blank cells indicate that no offenses in this category were reported to police. A zero percentage (0%) indicates that none of the reported offenses were cleared by an arrest.

Due to the vast number of categoriesof crime committed in the U.S., the FBI has limited the type of crimes includedin this compilationto those crimes which people are most likely to report to police and those crimeswhich occur frequentlyenough to be analyzed across time. Crimes included are criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft. Much informationabout these crimes is provided in this dataset. The number oftimes an offense has been reported, the number of reported offenses that havebeen cleared byarrests . . . [are] major items of information collected.” Federal Bureau of Investigation, US Departmentof Justice.
