CQ Press has release the findings of its annual State Crime Rankings and well, you better lock your doors, or perhaps get a security camera for your home or business. Especially if you live in some states. Let's just say the numbers aren't encouraging for some residents and business owners.CQ Press has been producing the list for nearly twenty years. It shows how each of the fifty states stacks up against each other and the national average for murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, and motor vehicle theft. Each of the six crimes is compared to the national reported crimes rate and indexed to create a summary score, according to CQ. Also, the most reported crime in the country (it accounts for 59% of reported crimes), larceny-theft, is no longer included.
Looking at this year's numbers, Delaware saw the biggest increase in crime. Last year, the "First State" came in at number seventeen and this year it jumped to number seven. Rhode Island followed, jumping nine places, and Connecticut jumped six places on the list. On the other hand, Michigan and Alaska saw big improvements, moving back seven spots in the rankings. Unfortunately, Nevada tops the list for the seventh year in a row.
