This chart shows the number of violent crimes per 100,000 persons reported to the DeKalb (IL) Police Department between 2006 and 2018.

I use the FBI’s definition of "violent crime", which is composed of four offenses: homicide (murder and non-negligent manslaughter), rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. Violent crimes involve force or threat of force.
