The Crime Clock should be viewed with care. Being the most aggregate representation of Uniform Crime Report data, it is designed to convey the annual reported crime experience by showing the relative frequency of occurrence of the index offenses. This mode of display should not be taken to imply a regularity in the commission of the offenses; rather, it represents the annual ratio of crime to fixed time intervals.

Risky business: Between 1992–98, 6,719 were killed at work. Contrary to public opinion, only 16 of the victims were postal workers. Postal workers are a third as likely to be killed at work as American workers as a whole. Taxi drivers are 150 times more likely to be victims of workplace homicides. Other risky jobs include police officer, security guard and retail worker.
