TABLE 4 — Murder Offenses by Relationship of Victim to Offender1
1Relationship count is higher than the number of victims due to the fact that a victim may have more than one offender. This table counts relationships
between a victim and possible multiple offenders. However, under the current Crime Reporting Program in multiple offender cases, the relationship
is only collected between the victim and primary offender.
2Due to small numbers, percent change is only calculated on the last four categories.

NOTE: The Uniform Crime Reporting program defines juvenile arrests as individuals under 18 years of age who are handled or processed by law
enforcement in circumstances for which — if the individual were an adult — an arrest would be counted. Officers complete "Juvenile Contact"
forms which count juvenile arrests by the offense classification.
