US Crime Rates by State
Here are a few tables that show crime rates in the US for different states. The tables are from 2 different sources, one of which is Wikipedia.
Here is the Crime rate table for the US spread across the last 5 decades.

I find these two tables kinda interesting. I wonder what made some of these rise and plummet so drastically. Crime rate comparisson chart for the US and other countries.
