So in which state do the majority of these muggings take place? Nevada. FBI statistics show the state saw 217.5 robberies per 100,000 people in 2015. That’s compared to the 164 robberies per 100,000 people in the second most robbery-laden state, Maryland.
State number three is California, with 135 robberies, followed by Delaware, with 130.6. New York rounds out the top five with 120.9 robberies.
Nevada has a lot of people coming through for short periods of time. I did encounter a lot of crime while growing up in Reno, Nevada. And was a victim/survivor of some of it. Shot in left pinky by kid "friend" with BB gun; attempted car-jacking; teacher's daughter murdered on my birthday of 2-24 in case probably solved in 2014 via DNA test ; close co-Philosophy major at the University of Nevada, Reno knifed in heart area six or so times by jealous husband; friend's dog shot through with arrow, etc.
