1 The data collection methodology for the offense of forcible rape used by the state Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program administered by the Illinois State Police does not comply with national UCR guidelines. Consequently, their figures for forcible rape and violent crime (of which forcible rape is a part) are not included in this table.

2 Includes state police agencies that report aggregately for the entire state.

3 Suburban area includes law enforcement agencies in cities with less than 50,000 inhabitants and county law enforcement agencies that are within a Metropolitan Statistical Area (see Appendix III). Suburban area excludes all metropolitan agencies associated with a principal city. The agencies associated with suburban areas also appear in other groups within this table.
