"Note: Many incident characteristics were unaffected or minimally affected by changes in methodology in the 2006 National Crime Victimization. However, caution should be used in comparing 2006 rates of individual variables, particularly those with small sample sizes, to previous years. See Criminal Victimization, 2006, at <http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/abstract/cv06.htm>."
Detail may not add to total shown because of rounding.
*Estimate is based on about 10 or fewer sample cases.
