Many of us picture silver-haired retirees, cocktails by the pool, and beautiful beaches when we think of Florida. But like so many places, there's a bit of an underbelly that you don't necessarily see in the tourist brochures. Florida boasts the 11th highest violent crime rate in the country. For every 100,000 residents, 462 violent incidents occur per year. This is much higher than the national average of 373 incidents.
