DescriptionDomestic offenses reported by law enforcement. This may include cases where a witness or victim reported an incident to police as well as situations where the officers observed evidence directly. Domestic-related crimes are defined as crimes committed by family or household members, including spouses, former spouses, parents, children, stepchildren and other persons related by blood or marriage, persons who share or formerly shared a common dwelling, and persons who have or allegedly have a child in common. In the case of a high-risk adult with disabilities, family or household member includes any person who has the responsibility for a high-risk adult as a result of a family relationship or who has assumed responsibility for all or a portion of the care of a high-risk adult with disabilities voluntarily, or by express or implied contract, or court order. ICJIA uses the latest data published in Crime in Illinois by the Illinois State Police and the latest population estimates are sourced from Center for Disease Control / U.S. Census Bureau Bridged Race Population Estimates ( https://wonder.cdc.gov/bridged-race-population.html )
Notes
- Reporting domestic related offenses is mandated by Chapter 20 of the ILCS, 2630/5.1, but not all agencies report to the Illinois State Police.
- 1996 Domestic Crimes Offense data reported from April 1 - December 31, 1996
- The Illinois State Police publishes I-UCR data for each year twice, for example I-UCR statistics are published as 2018-2017 and 2019-2018. In such cases the later published numbers contain minor revisions to numbers. ICJIA policy is to update to the most recent published version of this data when available, such that numbers for 2018 reflect the data published alongside the initial release of 2019 data.
