How likely am I to be a victim of violent crime?

Well, statistically, a violent crime occurs every 35 seconds in the United States, so if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time, or your behavior is wrong for the setting, it's very likely you could become a victim of a crime. A lot of it depends on your lifestyle, where you live. If you live in a high crime area, your odds are greater; a low crime area, your odds are less. Most crime occurs at night, after 8pm at night. So if you're a night owl, you're out a lot, you're going to clubs, you're going to school, you're coming and going at night, your odds are greater. If you're a homebody, locked in your home, you're safer.
