Riverside Violent Crime Defense Lawyers On Your Side

Violent Crime Statistics in Riverside

According to the Public Policy Institute of California, the violent crime rate in the Golden State rose in 2017 but still remains historically low. Overall, the statewide rate of violent crimes is comparable to the levels of the late 1960s. Between 1960 and 1980, there were significant increases in the violent crime rate—from 236 to 888 violent crimes per 100,000 residents (a 276 percent increase). After declining in the early 1980s, the violent crime rate rose again to peak in 1992 at 1,104 violent crimes per 100,000 residents. Since that time, violent crimes have substantially decreased.

In 2017, California’s violent crime rate ranked 16th in the nation and was higher than the national average of 394 violent crimes per 100,000 residents. In 2017, nearly 60 percent of all violent crimes in California were aggravated assaults, 32 percent were robberies, 8 percent were raped, and one percent were homicides. The lowest rates of property crimes were on the South Coast of California, and the highest rate was in the San Joaquin Valley. While San Francisco had the highest rate of property crimes, the violent crime rate was about the same as the national average.
