Arizona, Colorado, and Washington states have much higher rates of violence when compared to other large states.
Arizona, Colorado, California, Indiana, Texas, and Washington have much higher rates of property crimes when compared to other large states.
Arizona, Indiana, Tennessee, and Washington have much higher rates of burglary when compared to other large states.
LET: This article is based on a new study by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) of the US Department of Justice and my opinion as to what that research may hold for future compilations of state crime data. I asked a variety of questions via email about the future of BJS subnational reports but after multiple days, I did not get a response.
The title of the new study from BJS is, “Criminal Victimization in the 22 Largest U.S. States, 2017–2019.”
It would be simpler to just offer the report’s findings as to states having high rates for violence and property crimes (see “22 State To State Comparisons” below) but there are important policy and research considerations for justice administrators to consider (i.e., what happens when your numbers or rates of crime double or triple?).
Because the National Crime Victimization Survey is relatively unknown to many, some explanation is prudent. MORE
Way to go, Colorado! First to legalize marijuana and nearly 2 decades of Democrat rule. If you want to take your state down the toilet, that’s the formula.
Washington didn’t do too bad either. WE’RE NUMBER ONE!
This is just one more reason my, Receive What Law Enforcement Your Taxes Pay For Bill, should be enacted
My Bill:
1) Each and every victim of crime should receive a Government issued card similar to an EBT Card in the amount of any losses or damages suffered not covered by insurance
2) That card can be used to pay any and all local, county, State and federal taxes or fees
3) Any amount Insurance underwriters shall be reimbursed for the loss by the local jurisdiction
4) The amount shall not in any way shape or form be backfilled by any State or federal agency
This immediately changes the entire dynamic and those collecting taxes to provide law enforcement and justice have skin in the game.
1) Police would be fully funded before politicians spent a single dime on anything else.
2) Victims rights to be secure in their homes and on the streets and would be recognized as preferential to the rights of victimizers.
3) “Progressive” Prosecutors would no longer be endorsed and supported by politicians and non-profits.
4) Police Chief and Administration would no longer be an affirmative action, diversity and virtue signaling position
If we didn’t have Democrat run high crime counties, the US crime rate would be among the lowest in the world.

The common denominator in all of the is George Soros.
New York must have faked their data.
obiden/drat-run counties & cities generate most of the crime in what’s left of ‘merica
“Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) of the US Department of Justice”?
Might want to give this a little more thought before going all in.
Statistics are racist. Must be cuz tribe-13 commits half of murders and violent crimes.
It is blue hellholes in these states. Austin is a disaster. They had 1,200 plus police and now are down to 800 with 300 potentially retiring. It takes 2.5 hours for them to show up to head on DUI traffic collisions. They won’t show up to a regular accident. Denver, Seattle etc all in similar situations. Homeless are allowed to live everywhere. Gee we can’t figure out why this is happening. Property crimes and homeless go hand in hand.

In support of “reclaim the English Language” efforts, let’s not call them “homeless.” Let’s call them BUMS.
Joe6, that is really not what the citizens of Wash. state want to be # 1 at. At least not in my neck of the woods in Eastern Washington.
When, and if, normal citizens have had enough, they’ll resolve the problem themselves. When the “authorities” fail to do their jobs it eventually leads to self-help. It all depends upon the level of tolerance of the productive members of the communities. Everyone has a breaking point.
geoff, that was just me being ridiculous. I also live in Washington and not the least bit happy with what is going on here?
Without kidding, I wonder what John Denver would think about how it went in Colorado?
Oh yay! WA state is tops in every crime category they have. A beautiful place run by people with the ugliest of ideas. What’s been done to Seattle in itself is a crime.
Good to know Arizona at the top of the list. No wonder they voted in Hobbs.
Arizona did not vote for Hobbs. The democrats stole the election for her.
Uncle Al is ON TO SOMETHING.

I was called everything from crackpot to reactionary when I pointed out where Seattle and Portland were obviously headed in the 1960’s and 70’s. For the life of me I could not get my mind around why I could sit in church and read my catechism and apply what I learned to observed patterns of behavior and others couldn’t.
Hmm, here’s something extremely related. And the numbers are shocking. At least to me.
