In 2023, the violent crime rate in the United States was 363.8 cases per 100,000 of the population. Even though the violent crime rate has been decreasing since 1990, the United States tops the ranking of countries with the most prisoners. In addition, due to the FBI's transition to a new crime reporting system in which law enforcement agencies voluntarily submit crime reports, data may not accurately reflect the total number of crimes committed in recent years. Reported violent crime rate in the United States The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation tracks the rate of reported violent crimes per 100,000 U.S. inhabitants. In the timeline above, rates are shown starting in 1990. The rate of reported violent crime has fallen since a high of 758.20 reported crimes in 1991 to a low of 363.6 reported violent crimes in 2014. In 2023, there were around 1.22 million violent crimes reported to the FBI in the United States. This number can be compared to the total number of property crimes, roughly 6.41 million that year. Of violent crimes in 2023, aggravated assaults were the most common offenses in the United States, while homicide offenses were the least common. Law enforcement officers and crime clearance Though the violent crime rate was down in 2013, the number of law enforcement officers also fell. Between 2005 and 2009, the number of law enforcement officers in the United States rose from around 673,100 to 708,800. However, since 2009, the number of officers fell to a low of 626,900 officers in 2013. The number of law enforcement officers has since grown, reaching 720,652 in 2023. In 2023, the crime clearance rate in the U.S. was highest for murder and non-negligent manslaughter charges, with around 57.8 percent of murders being solved by investigators and a suspect being charged with the crime. Additionally, roughly 46.1 percent of aggravated assaults were cleared in that year. A statistics report on violent crime in the U.S. can be found here.

***Starting on March 7th, 2024, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) will adopt a new Records Management System for reporting crimes and arrests. This new system is being implemented to comply with the FBI's mandate to collect NIBRS-only data (NIBRS — FBI - https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/more-fbi-services-and-information/ucr/nibrs). During this transition, users will temporarily see only incidents reported in the retiring system. However, the LAPD is actively working on generating new NIBRS datasets to ensure a smoother and more efficient reporting system. *** **Update 1/18/2024 - LAPD is facing issues with posting the Crime data, but we are taking immediate action to resolve the problem. We understand the importance of providing reliable and up-to-date information and are committed to delivering it. As we work through the issues, we have temporarily reduced our updates from weekly to bi-weekly to ensure that we provide accurate information. Our team is actively working to identify and resolve these issues promptly. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding. Rest assured, we are doing everything we can to fix the problem and get back to providing weekly updates as soon as possible. ** This dataset reflects incidents of crime in the City of Los Angeles dating back to 2020. This data is transcribed from original crime reports that are typed on paper and therefore there may be some inaccuracies within the data. Some location fields with missing data are noted as (0°, 0°). Address fields are only provided to the nearest hundred block in order to maintain privacy. This data is as accurate as the data in the database. Please note questions or concerns in the comments.

The point shapefile shows results of an attribute match between political donors of Bush-Cheney from 2004 (3rd Qtr 2003 to 3rd Qtr 2004)and Obama (Jan through Apr 2008). The attribute match was done based on concatenated X and Y coordinates of the geocoded political donors data for both campaigns. There is a political talk about how some of (former) Bush-Cheney supporters are now donating to Obama campaign. Some of the stories in the paper have identified a few people, however there is no comprehensive dataset/analysis that is available. We at FortiusOne decided to use the geocoded data we had for Bush-Cheney 2004 campaign (from FEC) and join it spatilly and based on attribute values with the Obama donors (FEC data again) to see whether we could identify the so-called turn-coats. Elsewhere on Finder you may find data based on spatial join and based on other attributes. Needless to say, the results obtained so far do not conclude one way or another that these are the donors.

This dataset displays public elementary and secondary schools throughout the country that are either single-sex schools or offer single-sex classes for the 2008-2009 school year. For the 2008-2009 school year, there are at least 392 public schools in the United States offering single-sex educational opportunities. Most of those schools are COED schools which offer single-sex CLASSROOMS, but which retain at least some coed activities. In some cases, the only coed activities are lunch and one or two electives, so the distinction between a single-sex school, and a coed school with single-sex classrooms, can become a semantic quibble. From March 2002 through July 2007, we tried to make a distinction between single-sex schools, on the one hand, and coed schools with single-sex classes, on the other hand. We listed single-sex schools on one web page, while coed schools with single-sex classes were listed on a separate web page. As it became increasingly obvious that the distinction was often arbitrary, we decided in August 2007 to begin listing all public schools offering single-sex classrooms on the same web page, which is this page. By our count, 97 of the 392 schools below qualify as single-sex schools, meaning that students attending any of those 97 schools have all their school activities -- including lunch and all electives -- in a setting which is all-boys or all-girls. Most of those 97 schools are single-sex campuses, such as the The Ann Richards School for Young Women which opened in Austin, Texas in August 2007. Note: Schools which offer single-sex classes only in physical education and/or health and/or sex education are NOT listed here. In addition, correctional schools for adjudicated delinquent juveniles are not listed here.
