WHAT IS A VIOLENT CRIME?
A violent crime is a broad legal category that covers a large number
of criminal offenses that involve the use of, or even the threat
of force or violence. This includes both crimes in which the
violent act is the objective, such as murder, as well as crimes
in which violence is the means to an end, such as robbery. Violent
crimes include crimes committed with and without weapons.
The United States Department of Justice divides violent crime
into five categories:
 Murder
Rape
or other sexual assault
Robbery
Aggravated
assault
Simple assault
