In 2023 there were 1,201,857 violent crimes in the United States, including homicide, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. Of those crimes, 945,601 were committed by people aged 20–29. The largest demographic of offenders by race, sex, and ethnicity is white. The national average total crime rate is 2.3 per 1,000 residents, but neighborhoods within cities vary greatly in safety, education, employment, and household income.
