Preferred term

crime rates  

Definition(s)

  • Crime rates refer to the collection and publication of data on criminal offending, usually measured in rates per 1,000 or per 100,000. The use of rates as opposed to raw numbers allows researchers to determine the prevalence of specific crimes within a defined population or jurisdiction. [Source: The Social History of Crime and Punishment in America: An Encylopedia; Crime Rates]
