You may have heard on the news that crime was down in 2008. Statistically that’s true, but don’t start jumping for joy, yet. Case in point: Forcible rape was at its lowest rate in 20 years – only 89,000 persons were forcibly raped.
Only.
The FBI makes you dig for this stuff, so I’m including the raw numbers, along with the links, here.
Note: 2009 reports are only in preliminary status, without juicy numbers included below.
VIOLENT CRIME TOTAL: 1,382,012
- Murder and nonnegligent manslaughter: 16,272
- Forcible Rape: 89,000 (lowest number in 20 years)
- Robbery: 441,855
- Aggravated assault: 834, 885
