FBI's Crime Data Explorer

The Uniform Crime Reporting Program has just released its latest 2022 report through the FBI's Crime Data Explorer.

The UCR "generates reliable statistics for use in law enforcement. It also provides information for students of criminal justice, researchers, the media, and the public."

Included in the reports are crimes such as theft, burglary, murder, rape, property damage, motor vehicle theft, and assault.

Obviously, there's a good bit of scary information in these reports, and Acadiana has its fair share.

However, instead of focusing on the uncomfortable truths, we decided to flip the script and focus on the positives.

Neighborhoodscout.com has done a great job of putting all of the information in an easily searchable format, so you can look at all of the crime-related information HERE.
