When you think of the most dangerous, violent cities in the world, do you picture slums in Third World countries with vicious drug cartels or arrogant warlords? Maybe the kind of violence where enemies are decapitated and whole families are murdered seem like things that happen far away in some terrifying, exotic locale.
Some of this is true – but FIVE of the world’s most violent cities are right here on the American mainland and another is in an American territory. The list was created by researchers of anti-violence think-tank Seguridad, Justicia Y Paz (Security, Justice, and Peace), who made their rankings based on statistics of homicides per 100,000 residents.

SL has long been enormously corrupt.

Doesn’t change the fact that logically St. Louis City and St. Louis County comprise a contiguous metropolitan area.
I read Michael Novak in the 80s, The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism. Novak was an ardent Catholic, to be sure. He compared the North and South American continents to note the success of capitalism in the northern continent. He rejected the Marxist social justice pushed by Catholic bishops.
I’ll bet each and every one of them is a democrat run $hithole.
“Chicago isn’t on there?”
Yes, I thought it would be at the TOP of the list.
That’s the only logical explanation.
Guess I won't try wandering around there after midnight again.
but Karachi should be on the list
I detect a strong Hispanic and African influence.
I’ll take ‘Countries with the most accurate reporting systems’ for $500 !
Countries where people just get ‘disappeared’ are not on the list.
I remember watching game shows in the 60’s and 70’s that featured Mexico vacations as a prize. Now, I’d guess not so much.
