Kennesaw’s crime rate is just below the crime rate in New York City which has has a rate of 2,802 crimes per 100,000 people.

"The latest statistics available – for the year 2005 – show the rate at 2,027 per 100,000."

An extra 775 per 100,000 in the crime rate is hardly "just below".

i would rather live in NYC and and assume the extra .775% chance of being a crime victim.

From what I have read and seen, the crime statistics for New York are more doctored than anything. These supposedly dropped due to reporting changes.

I have lived in NYC for 8 months now. In my time, I have seen numerous drug deals go down, and seen someone get mugged in broad daylight in SOHO with 5 policeman standing within 20 yards of the victim.

I have lived a lot of places in my life that are supposedly more dangerous than NYC, but I have never seen anything in those places like what happens here.
