Aggravated assault has been the most prevalent form of violent crime in Clifton. In 2010, there were 12 incidents, which decreased to 5 in 2012, before rising to 11 in 2013. This represents a slight decrease of 8.33% from 2010 to 2013. The rate per 1,000 residents decreased from 2.43 in 2010 to 2.10 in 2013, indicating that the crime rate declined slightly faster than population growth. The percentage of state aggravated assaults attributable to Clifton fluctuated, from 0.1% in 2010 to 0.04% in 2012, and then to 0.08% in 2013.

When examining correlations between violent crime and demographic factors, a notable relationship emerges with population density. As the population density increased from 336 people per square mile in 2010 to 357 in 2013, the total number of violent crimes initially decreased but then returned to near-2010 levels. This suggests that factors beyond population density may be influencing violent crime rates in the city.

Applying predictive models to forecast violent crime trends, if current patterns persist, we might expect to see the number of aggravated assaults in Clifton to remain relatively stable, fluctuating between 5 and 12 incidents annually through 2029. The city's contribution to state crime statistics is likely to remain below 0.1% for all categories of violent crime.

In summary, Clifton has experienced relatively low levels of violent crime from 2010 to 2013, with aggravated assault being the primary concern. The absence of murders and the rarity of robberies paint a picture of a community with specific challenges rather than widespread violent crime issues. As the city continues to grow, maintaining vigilance in addressing aggravated assaults while preserving the low rates in other violent crime categories will be crucial for ensuring public safety.
