"The ranking is not an appropriate measure of where we stand today,"

They're right.

It's probably WORSE!

New Jersey and you . . .

[frogjerk]

It is an absolute travesty that the U.S.S. New Jersey is docked in that hell-hole called Camden...

[End Times Sentinel]

I've been to Oakland, Cincinnati, S.E. Washington D.C., the Bronx, Atlanta, Miami, North Philadelphia, and several other hell holes, and Camden is by far the worst place I've ever been.  Tijuana is nicer than Camden.  If there's a worse city than Camden, I don't want to know about it.

Wonder if God has been deported from Camden to the bible belt yet..
Is P. Diddy teaching science in Camden yet.?. or ethics even.?.
Satan is certainly frog marching San Fransisco to Queerdom..

Well, Isn't that special?.(Lily Tomlin as Ernestine doing the Church Lady)..

Many people (not me) expect a Hillary Clinton - Rudy Giuliani matchup. Well, here's an interesting tidbit for the 2008 election:

New York City is the 4th safest city in America.
Little Rock is among the 20 most dangerous metropolitan areas (#14).
In fact, FOUR Arkansas areas are. The other three are Pine Bluff (#11), Hot Springs (#9), and West Memphis (Memphis Metropolitan Area, #3).

I think their last mayor or city manager is under indictment for some kind of graft, too -- just in case anyone had any illusions about Camden.

[LdSentinal]

I think you can put New Orleans now as one of the safest cities in America.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Camden's incidences of murder, rape, aggravated assault, robbery, burglary and motor vehicle theft are all metaphorical and should not be taken out of context.

[dangus]

On the one hand, a 40% reduction in crime is very significant, especially if this occurs in temporal association with major overhauls in law enforcement (since that suggests that there is a substantial reason for the reduction, not just a fluke). On the other hand, such bounces are not rare, and impartiality requires a "just the facts" sort of approach to such rankings since they AREN'T rare; if they aren't outliers, who is to say when an asterisk is deserved?

So, no, I don't think an asterisk is reasonable. On the other hand, I do believe that Morgan Quitno might have noted the reduction in crime in subsequent press dealings: The news stories are obviously going to look at a declaration that "Trenton, NJ repeats as most dangerous" as a lede, and if it's a misleading lede, Morgan Quitno can prevent that misinformation.

[indcons]

Fox News is covering this story RIGHT NOW.

"Last year is old news. The ranking is not an appropriate measure of where we stand today," said Camden County Prosecutor Vincent Sarubbi."

I can see Camden across the Delaware River from where I sit and it is as close as I care to get.

Congrats again to the "Garden State."

Don't worry, Camden has former Gov. Christine Todd Whitman on patrol with the NJ State Police.
