Be aware that the Rec-A files are incomplete. They are only the records that were reported. Many agencies don't report.
I first noticed this when building an Rec-A import tool and notice Alabama had reported near no homicides in a test load. Sure enough, they are annually incomplete.
The FBI "imputes" missing data, as does NACJD when they rework FBI data into more usable formats.
I wouldn't believe anything the FBI has to say. The top four layers of management needs to be thrown out with the trash. They are as crooked as Joe Biden.

Is the data still self-reported by the local authorities and are the same cities reporting year over year?
Thanks Jeff: I will use this article when I refer people to sources for FBI data.
Well done.
