List of U.S. states and territories by intentional homicide rate
The list of U.S. states and territories by intentional homicide rate provides a comprehensive overview of the intentional homicide rates across the United States, including its territories. Intentional homicide is defined as the unlawful death purposefully inflicted on a person by another person. This list is crucial for understanding the distribution and frequency of violent crimes across different regions.
Intentional Homicide Rate[edit | edit source]
The intentional homicide rate is typically measured per 100,000 inhabitants per year. This metric allows for a standardized comparison between regions with varying population sizes. The data is usually collected and reported by law enforcement agencies and compiled by national organizations such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) through the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program.
Factors Influencing Homicide Rates[edit | edit source]
Several factors can influence the homicide rate in a given area, including but not limited to:
- Socioeconomic status
- Unemployment rate
- Education level
- Access to firearms
- Drug trafficking
- Gang activity
- Law enforcement practices
