More details: There can be multiple victims for each offense. 2016-2017 data unverified. 2018 data is incomplete due to multiple agencies either not reporting or reporting less than a full 12 months of data; comparisons should not be made to prior years. (Data may not be comparable year-to-year due to under-reporting when not all agencies report, incomplete reporting, population estimates from difference sources, county reports not included in statewide reporting and reporting agency changes.)
