Robbery trends show a decline over the years. In 2010, there was one robbery, representing 0.07% of state robberies. This decreased to zero incidents in 2022, indicating a 100% reduction. The robbery rate per 1,000 people dropped from 0.52 in 2010 to 0 in 2022. This positive trend suggests improved safety measures or socioeconomic factors contributing to the elimination of reported robberies in the city.

Aggravated assault has been the most prevalent violent crime in the city, but with significant fluctuations. In 2010, there were 5 cases (0.08% of state total), which peaked at 14 cases in 2012 (0.26% of state total), and then decreased to 4 cases in 2022 (0.04% of state total). The rate per 1,000 people has varied, from 2.58 in 2010 to a high of 7.07 in 2012, and down to 1.77 in 2022. This overall downward trend, despite population growth, suggests effective measures in addressing this type of crime.

Analyzing correlations, there appears to be a relationship between population density and violent crime rates. As the population density increased from 402 per square mile in 2010 to 468 in 2022, the overall violent crime rate decreased. This could indicate that the city has managed growth effectively without compromising safety.

Racial demographics show a shift, with the Hispanic population increasing from 40% in 2013 to 56% in 2022, while the White population decreased from 56% to 41% in the same period. However, there doesn't appear to be a strong correlation between these demographic changes and violent crime trends, as crime rates have generally decreased despite these shifts.

Applying predictive models based on the observed trends, it's projected that by 2029 (five years from now), Jal could see a further reduction in violent crimes. The model suggests a potential decrease to around 3-4 total violent crimes per year, with aggravated assaults likely remaining the primary concern but potentially dropping to 2-3 incidents annually. Robberies and murders are expected to remain at or near zero, while rape incidents may fluctuate between 0-1 cases per year.

In summary, Jal has demonstrated a generally positive trend in managing violent crime despite population growth. The most significant improvements have been in reducing robberies and maintaining a zero murder rate. While aggravated assaults remain a concern, their frequency has decreased over time. These trends suggest that the city's law enforcement and community strategies have been effective in creating a safer environment for its growing population.
