This comparison is important to examine the relationship between LTC holders and crime statistics. It is assumed that LTC holders are more likely to be law abiding citizens unless the data shows they are more likely to commit a crime than non-LTC.
II. Crime statistics among Texas LTC holders
In 2016, Texas LTC holders had 0 convictions for HARASSMENT BY PERSON IN CORRECTIONAL/DETENT. Non-LTC holders had 25 convictions for the same crime.
This means that Texas LTC holders had 0% of convictions for HARASSMENT BY PERSON IN CORRECTIONAL/DETENT compared to non-LTC holders who had 100% of convictions for this crime.
III. Factors that may contribute to the difference in crime statistics between Texas LTC and non-LTC holders

These include background checks and eligibility requirements for obtaining an LTC, training and education for LTC holders, and the perception of risk and responsibility among LTC holders.
