Each incident report is counted as one case in this data and the date used for each case is the original reporting date. Figures therefore may vary slightly from Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR), which creates static monthly reports based not on the case date but on various activity dates for reporting/unfounding/reclassification and individual counting rules that are victim-based rather than case-based for certain crime types.
