Not Ranked

Notes:	1.	The figures are based on the Federal Bureau of Investigation' s Uniform Crime Reports (UCR). We have presented only the violent crime figures and have omitted the data for rape, although the rape figures are included in the violent crime totals.
	2.	We have tried to make sure that we have faithfully transcribed the figues from the UCR, but it is inevitable that there are errors. No prizes if you find one, but we'd appreciate it if you'd let is know by emailing the Webmaster. Thank you.
