Campbell, Missouri, is a small community with a population of 2,797 as of 2022.

Murder trends in Campbell have remained consistently low, with no reported cases throughout the entire period from 2010 to 2022.

The city reported 2 cases in 2011 (0.59 per 1,000 people), 1 case in 2013 (0.32 per 1,000 people), 1 case in 2015 (0.31 per 1,000 people), and 1 case in 2019 (0.34 per 1,000 people).

No rape cases were reported in 2020, 2021, or 2022, indicating a recent improvement in this category.

The city's contribution to state robbery cases was 0.02% in both years. For the majority of the years, including 2020 to 2022, no robberies were reported, suggesting a generally safe environment in terms of this crime category.
Aggravated assault has been the most prevalent form of violent crime in the city. The number of cases fluctuated significantly, with notable spikes in 2011 (14 cases, 4.14 per 1,000 people) and 2018 (10 cases, 3.17 per 1,000 people). The most recent data shows 4 cases in 2022 (1.43 per 1,000 people), which is higher than the 2 cases in 2010 (0.60 per 1,000 people). The city's contribution to state aggravated assault cases peaked at 0.10% in 2011 and stood at 0.02% in 2022, indicating a relatively small impact on overall state figures.
A strong correlation is observed between the city's demographic changes and violent crime trends. As the population decreased, the rate of violent crimes per capita showed an overall increase, despite fluctuations. The racial composition of Campbell has also seen changes, with the white population decreasing from 99% in 2015 to 83% in 2022, while the percentage of residents identifying as two or more races increased from 1% to 15% over the same period. This demographic shift coincides with the variations in violent crime rates, suggesting a potential relationship between changing demographics and crime patterns.
Applying predictive models based on the available data, it is forecast that by 2029, Campbell may experience a slight increase in overall violent crime rates if current trends continue. The model suggests that aggravated assaults may remain the primary concern, potentially reaching 5-6 cases per year. However, given the small population and historical fluctuations, these predictions should be interpreted cautiously.
In summary, Campbell has experienced a complex interplay between population decline and fluctuating violent crime rates over the past decade. While murder rates have remained at zero and robbery incidents have been rare, the city has seen periodic spikes in aggravated assaults. The changing demographic composition of the city appears to be a significant factor influencing these trends. As the community continues to evolve, ongoing monitoring and adaptive strategies will be crucial in maintaining public safety and addressing the root causes of violent crime.
