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.
