There were 632,000 reported crimes in Tennessee in 2021, according to figures released Tuesday by the TBI. This represents a 1.3% decrease in statewide crime from 2020.

The most common group victimized by crime are those age 25-34. Females represented slightly more than half of the victims of crime at 52.9%. This was in large part due to women being the victims in 71.8% of domestic violence crimes.
