According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Sharp County, AR agencies reported 35 violent and 79 property offenses.

Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 78.5% of reported property offenses in Sharp County, against a cohort median of 63.2%. The remainder is burglary (11) and motor vehicle theft (6). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Position in the state cohort
At 202.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Sharp County ranks 29 of 71 — above 42 of the 70 other Arkansas counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +19.7% against the cohort median of 169.3. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Mid-size county rows still aggregate voluntary UCR submissions. Per-100,000 rates need a matched 2020 Census population; unmatched stay count-only. County-wide totals rarely describe any single town inside the line.
