ANOTHER QUESTION FOR CRIME-DETERRENCE EXPERTS TO POSE: 'WHICH U.S. STATES, BY POPULATION CATEGORY, HAVE THE LOWEST PER-CAPITA INCIDENCE OF MASS MURDER AND ATTEMPTED MASS MURDER?

On behalf of my one-member (myself, only) and non-Christian crime-deterrence-minded "Progressive Prohibitionist Religion", I am very hopeful that some national crime-deterrence-minded organization will conduct a nationwide study to identify which U.S. states have the lowest per-capita reported incidence of mass murder and of attempted mass murder.

The U.S. states that succeed the most at deterring mass murder and attempted mass murder should get special recognition and public praise, it seems to me.

I would welcome the day when some U.S. President presides over a ceremony in which that Chief of State publicly honors and praises the U.S. states, by population category, that have the lowest reported mass-murder rates and the lowest reported attempted-mass-murder rates.
