This report uses the Uniform Crime Reporting definition of rape and provides data on 540 rapes and 152 attempted rapes in Arkansas in 1984. Rape and attempted rape are combined for statistical purposes.
Abstract
Data were collected from an average of 195 law enforcement agencies, which represent a 98.9-percent coverage of the State population. Data are presented in 2 graphs and 15 tables: comparison of rapes and attempted rapes from 1978 through 1984, the frequency of rapes, victim and offender characteristics, physical location of the attack, and any relationship between the offender and the victim. There is also a map showing numbers of rapes by county, and a county list indicating reporting agency.
