About Violent Crime
Crime is an action in which an offender knowing or unknowingly violates the law.
About Crime Rate
The crime rate of a neighborhood, town or city is usually expressed in crimes per capita, or per thousand persons. Small towns with a few murders per year can seem especially violent due to the small denominator, which creates a high 'rate' of crime. Be sure to read crime statistics carefully as they can be deceptive.
