Due to the FBI's transition to a new crime reporting system, not all law enforcement agencies in the U.S. reported crime data to the FBI. As a result, figures will not accurately reflect the total number of assaults in each state.
Statista has been my savior on several occasions.
The site is easy to maneuver and the data is in a format that can
go right into a report or presentation.
