What types of violent crime are the most common?
The most common violent crimes are domestic violence issues, where you know your attacker, spouse, ex, boyfriend, girlfriend, someone you see on a regular basis, sometimes in a work place, but it's someone you know. The most common type of crime is basic assault and simple batteries: pushing, shoving, slapping, punching, those kinds of things, and those happen everyday. Again statistically, one happens every 30 seconds in the United States. As the crime becomes more violent, aggravated assault, robbery, rape, murder, those are less frequent. Again, most violent crimes occur from people that you know or have some relationship with, or you are sharing a common space with.
