To compute a crime rate, divide the estimated number of offences or crimes in the particular jurisdiction by the total population.

  • The crime rate can also be computed per 100,000, for example.  Therefore, the total population is first divided by 100,000.  The resulting quotient is then used as the divisor with the number of crime incidents.

  • Another way of computing the crime rate is per 1,000 or per 10,000.  The same method, as above, is used.

  • The crime rate of one jurisdiction can also be compared with the crime rate of another jurisdiction, especially if they share the comparative population figures.

Thus, generally, the crime rate is computed by dividing the number of the reported criminal offences committed in a jurisdiction (for example, a town) by the total population of that jurisdiction.
