crime rate is the rate of crime in a specific area or population. A crime rate is calculated by dividing the number of reported crimes by the total population; the result is multiplied by 100,000. This is why most crime statistics say out of 100,000. For example, in 2016 there were 358,100 robberies in New Delhi, India and the population was 62,826,898. 358,100/62,826,898=.00569x100,000=569. so New Delhi has a crime rate of 569 robberies per 100,000 people. Making the crime rates based out of a number that is out of 100,000 makes the numbers comparable between to areas so that largely populated areas dont seem extremely dangerous because they have a large population and therefor more crime, using crime rates statistics a large city could comparitively be as safe as a small town based on the rates of crime.
