Sufficient data for arson are not available to estimate totals for arson.
The violent crime figures include the offenses of murder, rape (legacy definition), robbery, and aggravated assault.
Due to the FBI's transition to a new crime reporting system, only 15,726 of 18,888 participating law enforcement agencies submitted crime data to the FBI for 2022. As a result, figures may not accurately reflect the total number of crimes.
