Wow looks like I live in the right State out of all of those Texas only hits that list one time....

Hummm see ya should live in Texas where the guns are plenty and crime is down....

Yep! Texas is the place to be.

That Texas community on the list is ranked as being more dangerous than the one Oklahoma community on the list. So, Oklahoma is the place to be .

Illinois peppered everywhere, haha!

Seeing Chester & Camden so far up on the list does not surprise me, but seeing Phila after them does

not seeing las vegas, NV on the list makes me think I need my eyes checked,,,lol

well,you look nice,I'm going to assume your nice and my comments arn't leveled at you. That said,I think your full of it!(Kidding) Some years back,I read that 1 out of every 200 people are either on probation or parole in the state of Texas(most of any state). Now,maybe they've caught all the crooks and now its pleasantville,or maybe the danger is of a different sort. Be careful,nice lady

You can be on probation or parole for non-violent crimes.

Humm lets see when you consider the size of the state and that it leads in the prison systems guess you would find more there... Since there are many states that have very few and must send them to .....ohhh yeah Texas...

But yet we are do not have the highest crime rate....

Still, according to the statistics cited in the OP, Oklahoma has less violent crime than Texas has.

I wonder how northern China's Hebei Province would rate in this? China's Hebei Province has been compared to promote automobile transmission control in other post.
