1. Data is preliminary – not a final UCR/NIBRS report.

2. UCR Definitions – United States
o Homicide - a.) Murder and nonnegligent manslaughter: the willful (nonnegligent) killing of one human
being by another. Deaths caused by negligence, attempts to kill, assaults to kill, suicides, and accidental
deaths are excluded. The program classifies justifiable homicides separately and limits the definition to: (1)
the killing of a felon by a law enforcement officer in the line of duty; or (2) the killing of a felon, during the
commission of a felony, by a private citizen. b.) Manslaughter by negligence: the killing of another person
through gross negligence. Deaths of persons due to their own negligence, accidental deaths not resulting
from gross negligence, and traffic fatalities are not included in the category Manslaughter by Negligence.
o Robbery – The taking or attempting to take anything of value from the care, custody, or control of a person
or persons by force or threat of force or violence and/or by putting the victim in fear.
o Aggravated assault – An unlawful attack by one person upon another for the purpose of inflicting severe or
aggravated bodily injury. This type of assault usually is accompanied by the use of a weapon or by means
likely to produce death or great bodily harm. Simple assaults are excluded.
o Forcible rape – The carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will. Rapes by force and attempts
or assaults to rape, regardless of the age of the victim, are included. Statutory offenses (no force used—
victim under age of consent) are excluded.
3. UCR Definitions – Canada
o Homicide – includes the Criminal Code offences of murder, manslaughter, and infanticide. Two primary
criteria must exist for an offence to be considered as a homicide: 1) death of a human being and 2)
someone must have caused that death.
o Rape / Sexual Assault – Aggravated sexual assault is committed when the complainant in a sexual assault is
wounded, maimed, disfigured or, has their life endangered. Canadian definition of Sexual Assault used to
determine Rape numbers for Canadian agencies except Vancouver PD.
o Robbery – Force or threat is a necessary ingredient in robbery whereas stealing from the person may be,
and is usually, done secretly. Robbery includes theft with violence, or threats of violence, and theft while
armed.
o Aggravated Assault – Third level of assault. Everyone who wounds, maims, disfigures or endangers the life
of complainant.
