NA Not Available. 1 Includes offenses reported by the Zoological Police and the Metro Transit Police. 2 Limited data for 2008
and 2009 were available for Illinois. 3 The data collection methodology for the offense of forcible rape used by the Illinois and the
Minnesota state Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Programs (with the exception of Rockford, Illinois, and Minneapolis and St. Paul,
Minnesota) does not comply with national UCR guidelines. Consequently, their state figures for forcible rape and violent crime (of
which forcible rape is a part) are not published in this table.
