My first 5 million estimate was a guess.

The FBI uniform crime reports has it an about 1.4 million violent crimes last year.

Violent Crime - Crime in the United States 2007

In any case, it is no where near 1 out of 4 chance of being a victim of a violent crime.

Its more like less than 1 out of 100 chances and it has been for at least 20 years of FBI stats:
