*Note: Due to a change in how Aggravated Assaults are reported, Agg. Assault data prior to 2005 are not comparable to Agg. Assault data from 2005 to present. Per a clarification in 
UCR standards, the state began mandating the reporting of the threat of injury with a weapon (known as “Menacing 2nd” in NYS Penal Law) as an Aggravated Assault in 2005. Prior to 
that, Menacing was listed as a Simple Assault, a Part II crime.
