Crime rates are a statistical measure reflecting the number of crimes occurring in a specific area over a designated time period, often expressed as incidents per 1,000 people annually. Crimes are categorized by severity, including violent crimes (murder, assault, robbery), property crimes (burglary, theft, vandalism), and white-collar crimes (fraud, embezzlement).
