Definitions

Crime data is reported by the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program by volume and as a rate per 100,000 inhabitants, where the probability of being a victim is derived by taking the total number of crimes reported in a location and dividing it by the location's population. Consequently, this figure does not take into account persons who are repeat victims of a crime. Denominators do not include non-residents of the specific location.

Rape: forced sexual intercourse, including both psychological coercion and physical force. Forced sexual intercourse means vaginal, anal, or
oral penetration by the offender(s). This category includes incidents where the penetration is from a foreign object such as a bottle. This
definition includes attempted rapes, male and female victims, and heterosexual and homosexual rape.
