Crimes & Arrests
Summary: Number of offenses, arrests, clearances
Database Detail
| Name | Crimes & Arrests |
| Summary | Number of offenses, arrests, clearances |
| Additional Background | This database reports the number of offenses (murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson) and auxiliary offense data (e.g., burglary: forcible entry, unlawful entry, and attempted entry) for each agency reporting data to the Uniform Crime Reporting Program (UCR) in U.S. States.
The database also reports the number of reported offenses cleared by arrest or exceptional means and the number of clearances which involved only juveniles (under 18 years of age).
The 2021 calendar year update from the FBI includes data from some area in some states, but it does not include all areas in all states. As a temporary measure, we are reporting 2021 values when they appear to be valid using a simple formula. Specifically, if the 2021 value is +/- 100% of the 2010-2020 average, we report the 2021 value. Otherswise, we report the 2021 value as NR, or Not Reported. We expect to update this database when the FBI revises its 2021 data.

Set APA as default format
APA
Format or style, from the American Psychological Association, is commonly used for footnotes in behavioral and social science publications. APA citation is an author-year-system. It is one of the most common styles used and taught at colleges and high schools. See here for more details, including APA formatting for bibliographies.Chicago
Format or style (also known as Turabian), created by the University of Chicago, is commonly used for footnotes in history, business, and fine arts and occasionally in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences. The Chicago style has two systems of citation. The author-date system (most common in social sciences and sciences) cites sources parenthetically in the text. The notes and bibliography system (most common in humanities) cites sources in numbered footnotes or endnotes which correspond to a superscript number in the text. See here for more details, including Chicago formatting for bibliographies.MLA
Modern Language Association (MLA) format or style is most commonly used for footnotes in the language arts, cultural studies, liberal arts, and humanities. MLA uses short parenthetical citations within the text that are linked to an alphabetical list of work cited at the end of the document. MLA commonly cites using this format: author's last name, first name, title, publication, edition or chapter, and year. See here for more details, including MLA formatting for bibliographies.AMA
American Medical Association (AMA) format or style is most commonly used for footnotes in medicine, biomedical research, nursing, dentistry, and other life sciences. AMA uses numerical superscript for citing sources in-text and refers to a list at the end of the work. These references appear in sequential order of when the sources were cited, instead of alphabetical order. See here for more details, including AMA formatting for bibliographies.Derived From: Federal Bureau of Investigation
