NYPD Reported Domestic Violence Related Offenses

New York City 2011 data appears in a temporary format while the NYPD's Uniform Crime Reports are being developed. While the rest of the state used UCR crime categories of "aggravated assault" and "simple assault", NYC data instead shows the categories of "felonious assault" and "assault third degree & related offenses". The statistical tabulations presented for New York City are derived from top charge of the reported complaint and the relationship/intimate partner information collected by the NYPD crime reporting system. 

Felony Assault – Includes felony assaults as defined by Article 120 of the New York State Penal Law.

Assault 3 & Related Offenses – Includes all non-felony assaults as defined by Article 120 of the New York State Penal Law.
