Violent crimes are among the worst that you can be accused of committing. Why? They're seen as immoral, which makes them even more disgraceful in the eyes of the court.
Many violent crimes have harsh penalties upon conviction. You might face many years in prison or heavy fines.
According to a 2023 chart of Wisconsin's violent crime rates
, there were approximately 289 offenses per 100,000 population. That is well below the United States's level, which was 364 per 100,000. However, Milwaukee has reported higher rates of violent crime
in comparison to the rest of the state.
