The Morgan Quitno have a number of New York cities listed among the 25 Safest Cities Areas of 2010 with Colonie, NY at the top of the ranking. Both Texas and New York are represented in that safe city list with New York netting 5 and Texas with 4.
The list of the 25 most dangerous cities all fit the expected profile. Determining just what that "profile" might be is left as an exercise...
See my previous post; that profile?
