The people of Wyoming certainly have a lot to be proud of when it comes to crime. The violent crime rate in Wyoming is significantly lower than the national average of 373 per 100,000 people per year. In Wyoming it's only 222 per 100,000 people per year, which is the eighth lowest in the country. It's not just murders we're looking at here either. The rate of reported rapes and other forms of sexual assault is also low, as well as robbery.
