¹ The FBI does not publish arson data unless it receives data from either the agency or the state for all 12 months of the calendar year.
² The data collection methodology for the offense of aggravated assault used by this agency does not comply with national UCR Program guidelines. Consequently, the figures for aggravated assault and violent crime (of which aggravated assault is a part) are not included in this table.
³ Because of changes in the state/local agency's reporting practices, figures are not comparable to previous years' data.
