Any list that has Alaska leading in violent crime is clearly BS.
I am here to serve Custard....
According to FBI-based data compiled by Beautify Data and USAFacts:
District of Columbia (not a state, but often included in comparisons) had the highest violent crime rate at 1,150.9 per 100,000.
Among actual states, New Mexico led with 749.3 per 100,000, followed by Alaska with 726.3 per 100,000.
USAFacts also reported Alaska’s 2023 violent crime rate at 726 per 100,000, which was 94% higher than the 50-state average.
