* The "violent crimes" category includes the offenses of murder, robbery, and aggravated assault and is presented as an alternative to the Violent Crime Index, which is not available as a result of the change to the definition of rape in 2013. In any given year prior to the change in the rape definition, these three offenses accounted for more than 95% of arrests for Violent Crime Index offenses.
Note: The juvenile arrest rate is based on the number of arrests of persons ages 0-17 per 100,000 persons ages 10-17 in the resident population.
