Interesting, the states fall into 3 geographical groupings, though I think the western grouping might have 2 separate reasons. The top spot increasing and remaining the lowest, though...
@rocamorar is right, higher temperature tends to make people more irritable and thus increases aggressive behavior. Kalbahamut's point is good too though--when people are stuck indoors, they are less likely to commit crimes. A combination of those factors is why crime waves are almost always exclusive to the summer, and why warmer areas tend to have more violence.
It is very encouraging to see some pretty massive drops in percentages among many of the states here. That being said, I would not be surprised to see Minnesota to fall off the list next year with the rather large increase of the recent homicide rate in Minneapolis.
I live in St. Paul and there are some parts of St. Paul and Minneapolis that five, seven years ago were fine but now are filled with gangs and you fear for your life when you go there. It used to be great, but there has been a massive drop-off in safety, especially in Minneapolis with the corrupt police.
How do people know this? I’m usually good at these kinds of quizzes but I just got bottom 6.8 percentile. There didn’t seem to be any sort of pattern, not dense or sparsely populated, not liberal or conservative, not East or West, not poor or rich. What am I missing?
Edit: im f***ing stupid I thought the quiz was asking for highest murder rates
