Zusammenfassung:Violent crimes include crimes such as murder, rape, robbery, and assault. The FBI in the UCR breaks these down into Type I, crimes against the person, and Type II, property crimes, offenses. The FBI also divides the country into four regions: West, South, Northeast, and Midwest. Each of these regions are examined, through the use of two states from each, here.

Several theories are used to explain the potential causes of the differences in crime rates and trends between regions as well as the policy implications for these differences
