NA = Arrest counts were not available for this State in the FBI’s Crime in the United States 1999. Notes: Arrest rates for jurisdictions with less than complete reporting may not be representative of the entire State. In the map, rates were classified as “Data not available” when agencies with jurisdiction over more than 50% of their State’s population did not report. Readers should consult the related technical note. Detail may not add to totals because of rounding. Data source: Analysis of arrest data from the FBI’s Crime in the United States 1999 and population data from the U.S. Bureau of the Census’ Estimates of the population of States by age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin: 1999 [machine-readable data file]. |
