The FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program defines robbery as the taking or attempting to take anything of value from the care, custody, or control of a person or persons by force or threat of force or violence and/or by putting the victim in fear.
Due to the FBI's transition to a new crime reporting system, not all law enforcement agencies submitted data to the FBI for 2023. As a result, figures may not accurately reflect the total number of crimes.
