New Hampshire has not published a comprehensive report of crime statistics since 1993. The Center's latest publication (which you can find here) is the first to meet the need of criminal justice professionals, researchers, and policymakers in understanding crime in New Hampshire by examining recent trends in criminal activity.
The report includes detailed crime statistics for the state's largest communities, compares New Hampshire's crime trends to those of other New England states, and examines the link between crime rates and state corrections policy.
Compared to other states, new hampshire is not doing so bad. The east coast has a higher murder rate. This may due with economic situations of the state.
