Maine has some of the lowest crime rates in country
Bangor Daily News - Although drug addiction and related crimes are a growing problem
across Maine, the state and its metropolitan areas still maintain some
of the lowest violent crime rates in the nation, according to data
collected by the FBI. Bangor’s metropolitan area, which includes all of Penobscot County,
recorded only 76.9 violent crimes — murder, rape, robbery, aggravated
assault — per 100,000 people for 2014, the latest crime data available
from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program.
Portland and South Portland came in at 127.6 violent crimes per 100,000
and Lewiston-Auburn, which includes Androscoggin County, had a rate of
142.
