Mississippi is the state of US which is located at the deep southern portion. Basically, its name originated from the Mississippi river which is situated at the western boundary of the state. Mississippi is known for its forests, catfish production, as well as Magnolia which is its state symbol.
The capital of Mississippi is Jackson. It is also the largest city of the state. However, the center of population in Mississippi is located at the County named Laeke, and not at its capital.
Furthermore, the reported population of the state in 2005 which is 2,921,088 has increased by 2.7 percent since 2000. According to studies, this increase is due to the migration happening in the place, same scenario that is happening in the other states of US. This fact has brought the state first in terms of having the largest African American denomination among the US states. At present, the African American population comprises 37 percent of the whole population of Mississippi.
Although the population of Mississippi is not that high, the crime rate of the state is not necessarily mirrored low. As a matter of fact, Mississippi still ranked 27th among the US states with the highest total crimes reported in the year 2006. Some of these reported crimes include crime against property, murder, aggravated assaults, forced rape, as well as robbery, vehicle theft, and burglaries. And among the states of US, Mississippi ranks as the 26th highest for crimes against property, the 21st for robbery, the 23rd for forced rape, the 18th for aggravated assaults and the 32nd for vehicle theft. Also, the rate of burglaries in Mississippi, which rank 10th in the whole of US (or 909.6 per 100, 000 people) in 2006, is well higher than the average by 218 for every 100, 000 people.
Based from this fact on the crime rate of Mississippi, the government of the state is thinking of ways to lessen the crime rate, mainly those related with burglaries. One of the strategies that the government, in particular the Mississippi security services, has arrived with is to heighten the security in every home in Mississippi, as well as vehicles. This includes the addition of alarms, improved locks, lights, as well as sensors. These additions would help in deterring burglaries in Mississippi. Some of them work for detection purposes, while the others work as preventive measures. In general, these measures would help lessen the crime rate of Mississippi and would benefit the people.
