according to FBI . Nevada is @2,,yikes

violent crimes per 100,000
Tennessee 643.6
Nevada 607.6
Alaska 603.2
New Mexico 559.1
South Carolina 558.8


,,of course that's still just 6 percentish ,, but relatively higher than other states,,

Umm fascinating, lucky Washington isn't that bad =D

its really not ALL Bad,, it means the most dangerous states are still at least 95 percent free from violent crime,,lol

but it IS interesting,,,

It is most defiantly interesting, I thought California was in the top five. I guess i'm wrong, well i almost got robbed once, but i manage to run my way to safety =D Lucky me!!!!

In 2010 Detroilet had 1,111 violent crimes per 100,000 people. I can go 8 miles south of where I live to enter a war zone.

Or better yet, if I want to take a short road trip north to Flint(glock) and see where there were 2700 violent crimes per 100,000 people.

Maybe Michigan can advertise these cities as a tourist attractions...."Come to Michigan and see what REAL CRIME LOOKS LIKE!!!!!!!!" or "Come to Michigan and see where crime isn't just an event, it's a profession."

And Detroit's convicted ex-mayor can be the poster child.

these are exceptions even to the exceptions,,,lol

I was assaulted both in Illinois and in ohio,, but they aren't on the list either

one does have to look at the cities within the states as well, there are certainly dangerous cities within not as dangerous states

of small cities , the top are

Camden, NJ
Gary IN
Trenton NJ
Compton CA
Lawrence MA

of medium populated cities

Flint MI
St Louis MO
Oakland CA
Cleveland OH
Birmingham AL

I'm sorry about the assaulted. There is a incident that happen to an 13 year old, who was shot by the police for carrying a toy gun which looked very similar to an ak. Which happen in California.

The most dangerous state of all is the state of mind of the average citizen.

I used to live in NM, so that doesn't surprise me.

Do they cite what the reasons are for the crimes being higher in these States? For instance in Canada; some of the more dangerous cities are on the coast or they are gang related.

Why is the crime rate so high in Washington DC?

Are you kidding?...That's where all the criminals are!

Wasn't it nice of them to put up all that security to keep you from getting your hands dirty trying to arrest them?

they do include a correlation to poverty and education,,,

Yeah; that makes sense. The city I was raised in is very poor and the crime rate is very high. Here where I live; people are poor but very few are in poverty so the crime rate is quite low.
