1: The data is obviously completely bogus unless you believe there were only 11 burglaries in Florida in all of 2021. You can't draw anything from it. 2: Texas

1: The data is obviously completely bogus unless you believe there were only 11 burglaries in Florida in all of 2021. You can't draw anything from it.
2: Texas is the second most populous state, so total # has little value. You need the per capita number to understand whether their might be some deterrence happening. Unfortunately the Statista data is garbage, so it isn't worth calculating.

- WillPostForFood 4y agoStatista is proven untrustworthy, so I'd start with the FBI UCRs: https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s
- pkaye 4y agoThanks for that link. Looks like its a mixed bag between Texas and California. Out of the 9 crime statistics, California is better for 5 while Texas is better for 4. And sometimes the differences are small. For example for burglary, the rate is 392.8 for Texas while 392.8 for while 386.1 for California. https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/topic-pages/tables/table-4 https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-...
