Supplementary notes

The number of arrests presented differ from other published numbers because of weighting. The weighting procedure calculates the proportion of all arrests attributable to an age group and multiplies this percentage by the total estimated number of arrests to determine an estimated count.

The data from previous years can be accessed at the Uniform Crime Reports section on the Website of the FBI.

Due to the FBI's transition to a new crime reporting system in 2021, not all law enforcement agencies submitted data to the FBI. As a result, figures may not accurately reflect the total number of arrests in 2021, 2022, and 2023.
