Violent Crime
The Violent Crime indicator is the annual rate of reported violent crime per 1,000 residents. Violent crime includes murders, forcible rape, robberies, and aggravated assaults. The higher the crime rate the higher the negative impact on the neighborhood. Crime data is from the Minneapolis Police Department neighborhood crime statistics. Neighborhood population data are from the 2010 U.S. Census.
Violent crime can result in death or physical injury. Being a victim of or witness to violent crime can also have negative effects on mental health, such as post-traumatic stress disorder. Violent crime is a meaningful, and nationally reported metric of community health. Violent Crime is included in the Health Systems and Public Safety domain.
