*This total domestic violence figure does not indicate an increase in the actual number of cases.  In 1999, the Sheriff's Office changed its method of categorizing domestic violence cases to comply with California Penal Code criteria; certain cases formerly classified as assault cases are, therefore,  now included in the domestic violence figures.
