Supplementary notes

Figures shown for rape only include those reported by law enforcement agencies using the revised Uniform Crime Reporting definition of rape.

Not all agencies submit reports for arson to the FBI. As a result, the number of reports the FBI uses to compute the percent of offenses cleared for arson is less than the number it uses to compute the percent of offenses cleared for all other offenses.
