Yeah, it’s a bit of a mind-twist. Is Berkeley higher in crime because being liberals, they love more laws, so no matter what, you’re breaking some kind of law?

If you look at the home facts website, I don't think that can explain it that way. Failing to properly separate your recycled trash, for instance, can count neither as a violent crime nor a property crime.

Yeah, a real mind twister. A college town (easy pickings) right next to Oakland.

I'd think that Berkeley's crime rates are probably influenced upward by its proximity to Oakland. The two cities are right next to each other.

May be a good question for a statistician like John R Lott.

No, the real mind-twist is: do they vote Dem and have a crime rate because they’re poor vs vote R and have a low crime rate because they’re affluent? That would be the lib mantra — must send the lib/crime-ridden cities more money......
