Oxford, MS, a small college town known for its charming southern charm and vibrant community, has unfortunately been plagued by crime in recent years. According to recent statistics, violent crime in Oxford is at a rate of 13.6, which is significantly lower than the national average of 22.7. However, property crime is slightly higher at 38, compared to the national average of 35.4. This means that while the community may feel relatively safe from violent crime, there is still a need for caution and vigilance against property crime. As a resident of Oxford, I am saddened by the increase in crime and hope that measures are taken to make our town a safer place for all.
