This indicator shows the rate of violent crimes like assault and robbery per 1,000 population.
Why is this important?
Crime and violence experienced by individuals living in a community is an important public health issue. Violence can lead to premature death or cause non-fatal injuries. People who survive violent crime endure physical pain and suffering and may also experience mental distress and reduced quality of life. Repeated exposure to crime and violence may be linked to an increase in negative health outcomes.For example, people who fear crime in their communities may engage in less physical activity. As a result, they may report poorer self-rated physical and mental health. Crime rates vary by neighborhood characteristics. Low-income neighborhoods are more likely to be affected by crime and property crime than high-income neighborhoods.
