Answer preview

Murder is a crime that is prevalent in the United States and the impact of this crime on the families or victims is significant. The Uniform Crime Report provides an insight on the crimes that happen each year, and it is evident that murder and non negligent manslaughter rate is low than any other crime. The decline in this form of crime can be attributed to the several programs and initiatives created by the government to help in the eradication of murder as a violent crime. In a state such as Michigan, it is clear that the state based on the reports by the Uniform Crime Report has experienced some low murder rates, meaning that even the community is working towards the reduction of violent crimes in the society.
