Crap.... The incidence of violent crimes is statistically most highly correlated to two things (as any cop or statistician will tell you): 1) - Demographics, specifically: the percentage of the population in the younger (sub 30, especially sub 25) age groups. Younger people commit more violent crimes... older people commit more financial crimes. 2) - Overall economic conditions. Crimes rise during poor economic times. There is little or no evidence that the overall political views of a general population have ANYTHING AT ALL to do with the incidence of crimes. You attempt to see such a correlation in the absence of peer-reviewed data is laughable, and sheds far more light on your political bias than it does on crime statistics.
