Camden has one of the highest murder rates in the nation, more that 500/year for the past decade +. I guess that number is acceptable.
--------------------------------------
500 murders per year for the past decade! WoW! That's 5,000 murder victims! Since Camden has a total population under 100,000 that means 5% were murdered! Holy Cow!
btw...the REAL number is under 35 homicides per year, but you were close.

I should have double checked that stat before posting, I was looking at another source and transposed numbers. The city was named the 4th most dangerous in the nation for 2003 and took the title of most dangerous 2004 from New Fallujah. Murder rate in Camden in 51.2/100,000 - 2004. Also a violent crime rate increase from 18/1000 to 24/1000 in 2005.
35 murders is low by about 15 to 25 per year. I believe it was 1995 that hit the 60 number.
