Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont were ranked the ‘most peaceful’

“The rankings are drawn up by the Institute for Economics and Peace, an international think-tank that also issues a yearly Global Peace Index.It notes a significant correlation between a state’s level of peace and its economic opportunity, education and health but finds peacefulness is politically neutral — neither Republican nor Democratic states have an advantage.”

“The Washington Times reported that states were ranked after reviewing five criteria: violent crimes, homicides, jail or prison population, police officer totals, and how available guns were.

While Maine ranked first, Louisiana ranked last.

To put this into perspective, the total cost of violence per person in Maine is $656 compared to Louisiana at $2,458 per person.

Maine had the best score because they had the least violent crimes, a large number of police officers in relation to population and a low incarceration percentage, the index showed.

Key findings of the research also showed that peace was not related to political affiliation, but was connected to education, health and economics.”
