Most Violent Crime:
T-46. Louisiana
T-46. Arkansas
T-46. Tennessee
T-46. New Mexico
T-46. Alaska
What skewed numbers are they looking at that puts a bunch of rural states above places like Illinois and New York?
You have to look at where violent crime occurs, what is the common denominator and extrapolate from there. In addition crime prosecuted vs crime ignored and not prosecuted.
My question as well.
Pet capita. Makes sense.
Depends on what they call a crime.
Well, in New York hitting someone on the head with a chunk of concrete and killing them is their way of saying "welcome to the neighborhood" and so not a crime.
In less sophisticated states they tend to regard that as a violent murder and want to arrest the nut case who did it and so deprive the area of the quaint and colorful people who give so much character to the area.
