How we count

Age: Age at the offense, in the same bands on every page.
Sex: Biological sex: female or male.
Race and ethnicity: Six groups, the same on every page. Hispanic is of any race; the other five are not Hispanic, so no one is in two.
Relationship: The victim's relationship to the offender, as police recorded it.
Counting once: Each person counts once in each row they fit, so rows can add up to more than the total.
Unknowns: Unknown is always its own row, and every share reads against everyone.
Small counts: Every count is shown, however small.
Marks on figures: When a figure is missing, the page says why.
Rates: Pages call it the rate: how many for every 100,000 people, or every million for rare events. It always sits beside its count, never in place of it.
Who reports: Police figures count only the agencies that sent records to the FBI.
