The Human Toll: States With the Highest Rates of Crimes Against Persons
Data reflects crimes against persons offenses reported to the FBI's National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) by participating law enforcement agencies in 2024. Crimes against persons include assault offenses, homicide offenses, human trafficking, kidnapping and abduction, and sex offenses. Rates are calculated per 100,000 inhabitants based on population covered by reporting agencies. Not all law enforcement agencies participate in NIBRS reporting, and coverage varies by state.
