The lure of Miami’s tropical palm trees swaying in the ocean breeze draws millions of visitors every year. The billions of dollars that tourists bring the southern part of the state, coupled with the prosperous business community in South Florida can attract criminal activity such as property damage or violent crimes including robbery, assault, and murder.
With a population of 69,707 people, the residents of Homestead have a 1 in 104 chance of becoming a victim of a violent crime. As a comparison, those living in the state of Florida have a 1 in 245 chance of being robbed, assaulted, or worse. Victims of violent crimes can suffer from broken bones, bruises, internal injuries, and head trauma. Those injured may have suffered a blow to the head from a fist or may have hit their head on a floor or another object when falling. Violent jolts that suddenly rock the head back and forth can lead to an extreme injury to the brain if they result in tears or rips.
