Crime rate statistics are NOT given on a per land area basis. They are given on a per inhabitant basis.

From the Wikipedia entry: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_statistics)
"Because crime is a social issue, comparisons of crime between places or years are normally performed on some sort of population basis."

It can be argued that larger cities have lower crime rates because their populations include suburbanites who commit less crimes. But it is not true that their crime rates are smaller solely because their land area are larger.

For a more detailed discussion of crime rates and their limitations, see this document:
