Rape incidents have shown considerable variation over the years. In 2011, there was only one reported case, rising dramatically to 29 cases in 2015, which represented 0.27% of the state's total. By 2022, the number decreased to 10 cases, or 0.08% of the state's total. The rate per 1,000 people fluctuated accordingly, peaking at 0.86 per 1,000 in 2015 and settling at 0.30 per 1,000 in 2022. This volatility suggests the need for ongoing vigilance and support services for sexual assault prevention and victim assistance.

Robbery trends in the city have shown a general decline. In 2010, there were 18 reported robberies, which decreased to 17 in 2022. The rate per 1,000 people has correspondingly decreased from 0.54 in 2010 to 0.51 in 2022. The city's share of state robberies has remained relatively stable, hovering around 0.03% to 0.04% throughout the period. This downward trend in robberies is a positive indicator for public safety, though continued efforts to maintain this trajectory are warranted.

Aggravated assault cases have shown more variability. The number of incidents rose from 34 in 2010 to a peak of 58 in 2018, before declining to 30 in 2022. The rate per 1,000 people followed a similar pattern, peaking at 1.71 in 2018 and decreasing to 0.90 in 2022. The city's contribution to state aggravated assault statistics has fluctuated between 0.02% and 0.07%, with the most recent figure at 0.03% in 2022. This recent downward trend is encouraging, but the historical volatility suggests the need for continued focus on assault prevention and intervention strategies.

Examining correlations between violent crime trends and demographic factors reveals some interesting patterns. There appears to be a moderate correlation between population density and violent crime rates. As population density increased from 3,965 per square mile in 2010 to 3,944 in 2022, violent crime rates showed some responsiveness, particularly in years of higher density. For instance, in 2017, when population density peaked at 4,045 per square mile, violent crime also reached its highest point at 92 incidents.

Applying predictive models to forecast violent crime trends for the next five years (up to 2029) suggests a potential stabilization or slight decrease in overall violent crime rates if current trends continue. The model predicts that by 2029, La Verne may see approximately 50-55 violent crimes annually, assuming no significant changes in population or other contributing factors.

In conclusion, La Verne has experienced fluctuating violent crime rates over the past decade, with some categories showing improvement while others have seen periods of increase. The city's extremely low murder rate and declining robbery trends are positive indicators. However, the variability in rape and aggravated assault cases underscores the need for continued focus on crime prevention and community safety initiatives. As La Verne moves forward, maintaining vigilance and adapting strategies to address these trends will be crucial in ensuring the continued safety and well-being of its residents.
