Year Inmates /100,000 New Index * Index/ Inmates
These pages compare reported crimes and imprisonment rates for every 100,000 people for each year in the 50 United States and rank the states by their crime and imprisonment rates.  
In order to compare crime to punishment we created a new crime index* and divided that index by the ratio of inmates to crimes in each state, as reported to the Bureau of Justice Statistics.  We then ranked each State for each category, with the lowest number going to the highest rate.  In an important new way, this table links crime to punishment within and between the States.

*The traditional crime index is made up of the total crimes committed in each State.   The problem with the old index is that it gives equal weight to every crime committed; and far more property crimes are reported than violent crimes.  Since violent criminals make up about half the prison population and about ten times more property crimes are reported than violent crimes, for the new index* we divided the number of property crimes by ten and added to that the number of violent crimes to make up the new index*.
