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 FBI determined that the agency did not follow national Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program guidelines for reporting an offense. Consequently, this figure is not included in this table.
