¹ Arson rates are not presented in this table because fewer agencies furnished complete reports for arson than for the other seven offenses making up the Crime Index. Independently tabulated arson rates appear in the arson narrative.
² Violent crimes are offenses of murder, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault.
³ Property crimes are offenses of burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft.
⁴ Forcible rape figures furnished by the state Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program administered by the Illinois State Police were not in accordance with national UCR guidelines; therefore, the figures were estimated for inclusion in the forcible rape, violent crime, and Crime Index categories. See Appendix I for details.
⁵ Includes state police agencies that report aggregately for the entire state.
⁶ Suburban area includes law enforcement agencies in cities with less than 50,000 inhabitants and county law enforcement agencies that are within a Metropolitan Statistical Area (see Appendix III). Suburban area excludes all metropolitan agencies associated with a central city. The agencies associated with suburban areas also appear in other groups within this table.
