Camden, Trenton, and Newark from the Garden State. I don't know, I guess Patterson and Elizabeth are slacking off or something. Is it just me or do these towns all have certain demographics in common. In fact, culturally, I bet all these towns have more in common than not, despite the geographic spread.

Just musing ... being near Baltimore, I wonder how many of these Mayors are running for Governor in their respective states.
Martin O'Malley, Mayor of Balltimore, wants to do for Maryland what he has done for Baltimore.
Under his guidance, we might just be able to chase Iraq war news off the front page.
Which makes me wonder how Baghdad might fare in the list...

No wonder these guys are bucking for a promotion. That's one way out.

Some interesting cities in the top 36 safest. You have to get to 300 to find NY's *bigger* cities-outside NYC that is.

"...certain demographics in common."
That was my first thought also. I guess it wouldn't be very PC to suggest some statistical analysis along those lines...

Cone on Orlando! We're not trying hard enough! Why, with the Florida "Stand your Ground" law being enacted, we were widely reported as becoming the "Wild, Wild East." Foreign countries were on the verge of issuing advisories.
What happened??? Clearly our 25th place finish shows that we're not trying hard enough. Why, it's almost as if the new law was a deterrent in a large metropolitan area. Whoda thunk it?

Why not, even here in the very nice town of Huntsville, Texas the most dangerous area is in and around Government housing.

And a lot of cultural similarity as well--mode of dress, music, economics, food, etc. Just different logos on their baseball caps.

This is a pretty meaningless list. "Only cities that release crime stats are included." Chicago is a pretty big city to leave out altogether. So you have a bunch of cities that no one has ever heard of (Brick, New Jersey?!) at both ends of the scale, and not a single city from a large state (Illinois) makes a list of 300.

I live near Wilmington, NC and this morning they reported a murder, robberies, assualts, etc. These were all committed by a "....certain demographic" group - and I know they were because they showed the people who were arrested. Descriptions of those who weren't caught were from a "...certain demographic" group.
My 12 year old son's first week in school here last year involved a ".... certain demographic" kid who poked my son several times in class with a mechanical pen. He was suspended for only 3 days by the Principal. When I complained tabout this situation - I was told "you don't understand the demographics here". I understood them very well, but I know he was hamstrung by PC in this area.

St. Louie, Detroit, Flint and Compton must be really, really, really bad.

"Brick, New Jersey?!"
Yes, that struck me as strange too. They've obviously made no adjustements for size. I wouldn't even think of Brick as a city, more like a town, although it may be legally a city.
Maybe they should call it most/least dangerous municipalities.

Let's call it for what it is. All of these cities have large black populations and the violence is primarily black on black crime. Where are the self appointed black leaders and how are they helping to stop this? Between the abortion rate and the amount of young people being killed there is a something akin to a genocide happening here.

"23. Little Rock, AR"Think of how dangerous it was when Clinton lived there.
