Yes, lets go ahead and inform the public about just how violent Ferguson is. Except that surrounding communities are more so (figures for the most recent year - 2013).

Murders - 9.4 per 100,000 (2 actually committed).
Rapes - 14.1 per 100,000.
Robberies - 1,163 per 100,000.
No arsons were reported for 2013.

Overall rate - 381.1 per 100,000. That’s somewhat above average (meaning more crime overall than average community).

US rates are here (most recent year 2012).
