What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Winslow Township, NJ
Comparable rate records
Winslow Township's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the New Jersey cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Winslow Township's 117.2 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are South Plainfield (117.9), Franklin Township, Gloucester County (117.9), Highlands (117.9), Montclair (118.1). These are same-year agency submissions that pass the same completeness screen, not a claim that the cities have identical conditions. They make the cohort position above checkable against named records instead of a generic state average.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 187.2 per 100,000 in 2020 to 117.2 in 2024 (-37.4%). The highest observed value was 263.3 in 2022 and the lowest 109.9 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
Winslow Township sits mid-pack among comparable New Jersey cities
At 117.2 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Winslow Township ranks 144 of 417 — above 273 of the 416 other New Jersey cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +71.9% against the cohort median of 68.1. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 10.6% of the 451 Part I offenses reported in Winslow Township for 2024, against a median of 7.1% across comparable New Jersey cities — a gap of 3.5 points. Offense mix is shaped by which agencies report and how incidents are classified as well as by the underlying offenses, so it describes the reported record rather than a settled difference in conditions.
Property counts dominate Winslow Township's FBI UCR Table 8 municipal row. Per-100,000 rates use the reporting-year population on that row; cities that fail the completeness test stay out of rate rankings. A citywide figure rarely describes any single neighbourhood inside the municipal boundary.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
