U.S. states where rape & violence are the most common
“Alaska has an epidemic,” Gov. Sean Parnell said once. It’s not bear attacks or deadly roads. It’s rape and violence against women.
Reported rape is more common in Alaska than any other state, according to FBI crime estimates. The per capita rate is about three times the national average.
In America’s “Last Frontier” state, nearly 80 incidences of rape are reported per 100,000 people, the data show. Nationally, the rate is 27 per 100,000.
The FBI cautions against comparing crime rates across states without considering factors like demographics, climate, culture, economics and law enforcement capabilities. And rape is notoriously underreported nationwide, so take these numbers as estimates. The FBI only counts reported incidents of rape.
