    Crime Statistics

    Does anyone know where to find crime statistics for city, county, or state? Those are really useful when trying to prove a point that more guns in the right hands can make a place safer to live. Specifically, LA vs. Orange counties.

    Try the department headquarters. Or, maybe news media has the data?

      If you're in LA County, the following will be good: http://lasd.org/crime-stats.html

      Also, http://www.crimereports.com to punch in an address and look at nearby crimes

        The AG has the CA reports here: http://ag.ca.gov/cjsc/pubs.php, especially 'Crime in California'.

        But you're starting from a false premise:
        more guns in the right hands can make a place safer to live
        You apparently think CA's gun laws are intended to contribute to public safety.

        If that were true, crime arguments might have an influence.

        CA's gun laws are intended to get the politicians who propose them campaign donations and votes.

        Crime statistics are useful only insofar as they inspire fear which causes the fearful to demand more laws, for which introduction the politician expects donations and votes.

        Frozen in 2015, it is falling out of date and I can no longer edit the content. But much of it is still good!

          Nobody's gonna care about your statistics. You will be met with panic and confusion, kinda like when a pervert exposes himself to a woman in the park.

            State and city crime statistics. Violent and property crime rates, with murder, rape, assault, arson, larceny, burglary and car theft rates by city and by state. America's safest and most dangerous cities.

              Most crime statistics are based on the uniform crime report that each agency submits to the FBI who publicizes it, http://www.fbi.gov/publications.htm
              Scroll to the bottom and look for Uniform Crime Report.

                www.crimereports.com is good . You can type in your zip code or full address. You can select a time period to search. Our Neighborhood watch uses it.
                Actually I only started collecting Milsurps 3 years ago. I think I might own about 24...They're cheaper than guns that will most likely never get the opportunity to kill somebody...

                I belong to the group that uses firearms, and knows which bathroom to use.

                Tis better to have Trolled & lost, Than to never have Trolled, at all.
