Are there more crimes committed in rural or urban areas?
Under most circumstances, crime is more common in urban areas. There are several reasons for this. In the first place, more people live in cities and towns than in the countryside (the UN believes that the world became majority urbanised some time in 2008). People often live more closely together in urban areas; and this makes crime both more tempting, and easier to conceal. (It is easier and safer to steal a mobile phone left on a bus, than to trek across three farmsteads to take one). Crime is more likely to be reported in an urban area (where there are probably police) than in very remote rural locations (where they may be no police force to report to). And if a crime is not reported, it is moot whether it has been committed. This is not to say that rural areas are better places to live. Most modern anthropological research suggests that battery, murder, and rape are endemic in primitive rural societies at apalling levels. But 'crime' is an urban concept.

What does 'exceptionally cleared' mean when posted in a police report?
A police report that is "exceptionally cleared" means that the reported offense was 'solved' by means which did not include an arrest and prosecution of the perpetrator. In other words, the crime was solved - we know who did it - but no arrest was able to have been made. A perfect example of this would be the solution of one (or more) crimes by means of a "deathbed confession." Another, probably more common example, is the clearance of a string of offenses committed by an individual, by an admission of their culpability, in exchange for a plea bargain offered by the prosecution.
