Violent crime refers to criminal acts that involve the use or threat of force against individuals. This includes offenses such as homicide, assault, robbery, and sexual assault. These crimes can cause serious physical and emotional harm to victims and often create fear within communities. The impact of violent crime extends beyond the immediate victims, affecting families and neighborhoods. Communities may experience increased anxiety and a sense of insecurity, leading to a breakdown in trust among residents. Efforts to reduce violent crime often involve law enforcement, community programs, and support services aimed at prevention and rehabilitation.
