Note: 1973-91 data adjusted to make data comparable to data after the
redesign. Estimates for 1993 and beyond are based on collection year while
earlier estimates are based on data year. Rape does not include sexual
assault.
Homicide data were calculated from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reports. Homicide
rates for 2005 are estimated based on 2005 Preliminary Annual Release
data.
