How many times did Sherlock Holmes appear in serious crimes?
Of the sixty stories, there are eight where no crime is committed. In my opinion, of the 52 remaining cases, these are the crimes ranked by frequency of the most serious crime: Murder (30), Theft (6), Attempted murder (4), Fraud (4), Abduction (3), Blackmail (2), Attempted robbery (1), Espionage (1), Treason (1). I hasten to add that in many of these cases the crimes would have escalated without Holmes' intervention. Of course, there are those un-chronicled cases; I believe Holmes says in 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' that there are some 500 cases of capital importance which he handled, and there are over 100 that Watson mentions with few details given.
