Reply to comment by bryanhealey in Violent Crime Rates of Massachusetts Municipalities (2020) (OC) (re-upload based on constructive criticism) by potkea

The FBI considers violent crime to be:

  • Murder and nonnegligent manslaughter

  • Rape

  • Robbery

  • Aggravated assault

>would also be interested in how this compares nationally and internationally.

IDK abt internationally, but nationally you can compare the rates to these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_violent_crime_rate

In defense of DC: it’s not really fair to compare DC to the states. DC shows up as dark red compared to the states on the map but in reality would be more comparable to other large cities - I know the crime rate in DC is high but IIRC there are other cities that are higher.
