What were the Rates of Crime for each Area? Inglewood California has a lower aggravated assault crime rate than Knoxville Tennessee.

Knoxville Tennessee had an aggravated assault crime rate of 684.7 for every 100,000 people (Area Connect, 2014).

In addition, it is believed that as many as half of all burglaries go unreported, which might account for the low clearance average clearance rate of 14 % in the U.S. A significant factor related to the low clearance rate is that about 65 percent of residential burglaries investigated do not produce enough evidence or information about the crime, therefore making it one of the most difficult crimes to solve (Weisel, 2004, p. 1). The official rate of residential burglary, as measured by the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report (UCR) has changed dramatically over the last 50 years. Burglary rates increased in the United
With the highest crime states out of the picture it left knowingly less violent states for Brady supporters to use as proof of decreasing crime. From 1993 to present year there has been a steady five to ten percent decrease in U.S. violent crimes. The FBI reported an estimate of 1.3 million violent crimes in 2009, of which 67.1% were aggregated assaults, but of that percent, firearms were used in only 20.9% of those assaults. So, let us for example ban guns and pretend no citizens have access to them, which leaves 46.2% violent assaults where a gun was not used (U.S. Department of, 2010). High numbers of violent crimes still exist even after firearms are subtracted from the
(Neighborhood Scout). Violent crime was reduced from 18,094 (2009) to 16,976 (2010). Forcible Rape did rise from 334 to 405.

As stated in an article What Accounts for the Decline by IMROHOROG˘ LU etal (2004), "The most noticeable decline over this time has been observed for property crimes, which account for over 90 percent of all crimes [in United States]. "(pp.707) Most of these crimes were committed by youth. However the fraction of youth declined and so did the number of crimes they committed. Another factor that lead to a decline in the crime rate is the law enforcement. IMROHOROG˘ LU etal (2004) point out that "expenditures on police protection have increased from 0.6 percent of GDP in 1980 to 0.7 percent of GDP in 1996."
This dire statistic earns Dyers County the title of the eight highest unemployment rate for counties in the state of Tennessee. Due to the overall downturn in the nation’s economic status the effects of the recession can easily be seen in Dyer County—numerous empty buildings that once housed small businesses and a number of home foreclosure sale signs in the yards of now empty residences. The annual median income for Dyer County residents is $32,788, and the median income for a family is $39,848. “Males had a median income of $31,182 versus $21,605 for females.

In addition, adolescent males are also more likely to carry a weapon.
Most of the things these immigrants do in the U.S. is illegal; avoid taxes, work illegally, live illegally, etc. The biggest problem with them is that a majority of them do not pay taxes. Households with an illegal immigrant as the head of the house only pay 1/3 of the federal taxes, or ¼ as much as a legal household. The debt that illegal immigrants cause to the economy is far greater than the good they do. As Steven A. Camarota tells in The High Cost of Cheap Labor: Illegal Immigration and the Federal Budget, “Households headed by illegal aliens imposed more than $26.3 billion in costs on the federal government in 2002 and paid only $16 billion in taxes.
Known as Federal Firearm Licenses (FFL), is a huge source of crime guns and greatly surpasses the sale of guns stolen from the American citizen. Gun traffickers are interested in FFL’s because that is where the guns are. This is why FFLs are a large source of illegal guns for traffickers who ultimately wind up selling guns in the street. Another large source of guns used in crimes is unlicensed street
