As far as Kansas goes, it's probably got the most average violent crime statistics of all the states. In fact, it comes in 25th place for murder rate, so you can't get much more average than that. The violent crime rate is slightly higher, though, at 389.9 per 100,000 people, making it the 19th highest in the USA. Kansas is also on the high end for suicide rate - it's the 15th highest in the country at 17.9 per 100,000 people.
