How did NJ get on this list? Faking the stats?
NJ has diversity.
1. It has crappy cities but they aren’t very big. Most of the state’s population lives in suburban towns with far more police officers than they need.
2. Yes, it’s a diverse state. But a lot of that diversity comes in the form of Asian immigrants. Culturally, crime is almost non-existent among these people. Your typical Indian immigrant would set himself on fire before he would ever commit a violent crime.
Th 4th safest state? I guess NJ just kept offing crime rate statisticians until they found one that would fake a result they liked.
