A few hypotheticals examples where this data wouldn't necessarily answer the question:
- 100% of mugging victims fight back
- 100% of mugging victims immediately give in
- Muggings turned into murders are reported only as "murders" in UCR (I'm not familiar with this data, random guess)
- Attempted muggings where the victim fights back and the mugger runs away aren't reported as crimes, so aren't included in these statistics
- Muggings of small value might not be reported (I'd report a lost phone to get it blocked, but if someone wanted all the cash in my wallet I probably wouldn't bother calling the police)
