Which States have the highest crime rate? Each year, with the release of its Crime in the United States (CIUS) report, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) publishes a "Caution Against Ranking" alert. This resource describes how data are collected and presented and why users should refrain from translating the data into rankings of state/local juridsictions. To view this resource, select a CIUS report from the FBI site and select the link marked "Caution Against Ranking." Due to the above, Office of Justice Program (OJP) agencies do not publish state crime rankings. Last Updated: December 21, 2010
