not sum to total because of rounding.

only. A small number of cases were classified as nonnegligent manslaughter
when it was unclear if the conviction offense was murder or nonnegligent
manslaughter.
b/Includes rape.
c/Includes offenses
such as negligent manslaughter and kidnapping.
d/When vehicle theft
could not be distinguished from other theft, the case was coded as "other
theft." This results in a conservative estimate of vehicle thefts.
e/Includes embezzlement.
f/Composed of nonviolent
offenses such as receiving stolen property and vandalism. |
