Texas's murder rate in 2011 and 2012 was the lowest since records began
in the 1960s.  Other crimes are up vs the 1960s but still way down from
the peaks in the late 1980s/early 1990s.

Nationally, Pennsylvania is ranked low in rape, burglary and larceny but
middle in murder and aggravated assault and high in robbery.
