Top 3 states are Northern New England. That is because it is too cold to go out and commit crimes most of the year. We start hibernating once the clock turns back.

Five New England states make the top ten. 1 state misses. I left that state to live somewhere else; should tell you what you need to know.

That is due to all the fights between Yankees and Sox fans.

Yeah the lack of hell raising here in WA is driving me nuts!!!
From the same article: And here are the least (also in order, with Louisiana leading the unrest): Louisiana, Tennessee, Nevada, Florida, Alabama, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Maryland.

NY is #29, I thought it would be closer to the bottom. Or top, depending on your point of view.

I bet those "peaceful" states are also high on the list of "most miles of gravel and dirt roads". Something about concrete and traffic brings out the mean side of most folks

I think it has more to do with the banjo music you hear if you get too far off the beaten path.
