In 1999, two methods were in place: the Summary System; and the Incident Based System (IBR), which counts all offenses in an incident, to a maximum of ten. Beginning in 2000 and going forward, all information included in the Crime in Virginia reports are IBR data. Because of the change to the IBR System, it is impossible to compare some information to previous data. In some cases, 1999 data have been omitted from comparisons. For more information and a further discussion of the two reporting systems, see the 1999 and 2000 editions of Crime in Virginia, which were compiled by the Uniform Crime Reporting Section of the Virginia Department of State Police. The primary sources for information in this analysis are the 1975 through 2012 editions of Crime in Virginia.

Additionally, the number of arrests in a jurisdiction does not provide offense clearance information in that one person arrested could clear a number of different offenses.
