There is a "health warning" about the statistics, but the F.B.I. is among the sources of data, so I'd say it's more than a fair representation.

I know this won't surprise anyone, but to see it in this pictorial form, well it really hits home.

Frans - I imagine using the same methodology they use to come up with statistics for other unreported crimes, such as the British Crime Survey. You can ask people whether they've been victims of crimes, don't have to rely on only those who report to the police. If you use a valid sample, make sure they are representative of the general population and so on.
