crime rates
Lawbreaking per capita
Crime rates are statistical measures of how frequently crimes occur within a population, typically expressed per capita—often per 100,000 people: The city's crime rate dropped fifteen percent last year.
Rates are usually broken down by type: violent crime rates, property crime rates, murder rates.
These figures drive policy debates, shape perceptions of neighborhoods, and influence everything from real estate values to election outcomes.
