10 Most Violent States In The U.S.: The Institute For Economics And Peace

10 Most Violent States In The U.S.: The Institute For Economics And Peace
We've all heard that crime doesn't pay. Peace, it turns, out does.
The newest edition of the U.S. Peace Index, developed by the Institute for Economics and Peace,
ranks states by level of peacefulness. The index is based on five
primary indicators: (1) number of homicides per 100,000 people, (2)
number of violent crimes per 100,000 people, (3) number of people in
jail per 100,000 people, (4) number of police officers per 100,000 people
and (5) general availability of small arms.
Combining these figures, the U.S. Peace Index calculates a number
summarizing the overall peacefulness of each state, with low numbers
being safer. Currently, the national average is 2.056.
Since 1995, the U.S. has become 8 percent safe, according to the
index. Not all states have improved, though. New York's become 32.3
percent safer since 1991, but other states have actually become more
dangerous, like North Dakota (47.7 percent more dangerous) and Tennessee
(9.3 percent more dangerous). Generally, Southern states tended to be
the least safe, with the region scoring 3.13 on the index, compared with
the Northeast, calculated to be the safest region with a score of 1.99.
Reducing crime seems to have more benefits than just an increased
sense of well-being, too, with the index's authors hinting that safety
might have notable economic benefits.
If the United States peace index
was as low as Canada's (1.392 compared to 2.056),
for example, the U.S. Peace Index's authors argue that state
governments could save up to $89 billion in incarceration, medical,
judicial and policing costs.
Add to that an increase in nationwide
productivity equivalent to a $272 billion stimulus, as well as 2.7
million newly-created jobs, and it starts to become pretty clear: peace
pays.
Indicators are weighted, allowing homicides to carry the greatest
significance, while availability of firearms carries the least.
The
index also groups into four categories an additional 37 secondary
factors like high school graduation rate and median income: politics and
demographics, education, health and economic conditions.
Below is the list of the 10 least peaceful states in the United States according to the Institute for Economics and Peace.
