List of U.S. states and territories by violent crime rate

This is a list of U.S. states and territories by violent crime rate.

It is typically expressed in units of incidents per 100,000 individuals per year; thus, a violent crime rate of 300 (per 100,000 inhabitants) in a population of 100,000 would mean 300 incidents of violent crime per year in that entire population, or 0.3% out of the total.

These data have been taken from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reports.
