| NOTE: The number of arrests per 1,000 persons in an age group is based on the population in that age group. Data do not indicate the proportion of persons who have been arrested, since some individuals have been arrested more than once. Some fluctuations in arrest rates are caused by changes in the response rates of law enforcement agencies. Some data are revised from previously published figures. | ||
