UCR Definition
The Florida Uniform Crime Reports program defines Rape as the penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person or object, without the consent of the victim. This definition includes either gender of victim or offender, and instances where the victim is incapable of giving consent because of temporary or permanent mental or physical incapacity (including due to the influence of drugs or alcohol) or because of age. Physical resistance is not required on the part of the victim to demonstrate lack of consent. Attempts to commit rape are also included.

* In 2013 the FBI's UCR program implemented a new definition of Rape that includes incidents previously reported as Sodomy. Beginning with 2013 data, Florida, in compliance with that definition, modified the collection of Rape data to include rape, attempted rape, and sodomy. The 2000-2012 UCR Offense numbers include sodomy to better reflect the new rape definition.
