Remember, it’s per 1,000 people in those tiny towns! It could be demographic, as folks allude to. People are human and sometimes small towns are every bit as corrupt as the big cities that they cluster around.

For example: Look at all the small towns sandwiched between Chicago and Detroit. Two big cities notorious for their corruption and crime.

I grew up in the South Bend-Elkhart area. And go back every few years to visit family and friends who stayed behind. Growing up, everyone wanted to “get out of that place. If it’s the last thing we ever did.” My memories on balance are happy ones, though.

I grew up in the South Bend-Elkhart area.

Cool. I'm familiar with the area. I'm not from there but I have family living in there.

Only a blind man couldn’t see what you were getting at.

Or, A dyed-in-the-wool liberal.

[Reverend Wright]

LOL !

[shoff]

If you check the demographics of each top town a pattern emerges.

[BudgieRamone]

Ive lived in Birmingham, and done business in Bessemer. doesnt surprise me. Ive lived in K-zoo, MI again not surprised but I dont remember it being a hotbed of criminal activity.

[know.your.why]

Bessemer, Alabama ethnic makeup:Black or African American: 72.53% White: 20.34% Other race: 3.74% Two or more races: 2.96%

I cant imagine why this city made the most violent in the country.

[mowowie]

What is it like?

[Bikkuri]

Chiraq not on there?!

[mowowie]

Mudsharks make up 20% of the town..

[Nifster]

They’d left out DC which I consider THE most dangerous

A young man I know drove a hotshot for awhile. He went everywhere in the US and slept in his van in all kinds of weather. Money the very hard way.

He stopped by on a layover and we visited for quite awhile. I asked him where he felt most threatened. Answer, the SE. Full of thuggish red necks. The single state? Kansas, wide open spaces and not many LEOs to go around.

Best place? SE Oregon, almost vacant.

[musicman]

BTTT!!!

[aquila48]

Bessemer - 70% black, 18% white.

[Allegra]

No Chicago?
No Philadelphia?
No D.C.?

[Mozzafiato]

If this was broken down at the zip code level I will bet every top zipcode is majority black.

[Angelino97]

Plenty of red states on that list.

Conservatives love to say, "Move to a red state!" But the rot is everywhere.

[Angelino97]

The safe answer is “It’s the Democrats.”

[Angelino97]

You can't generalize about big cities. Los Angeles is vastly spread out. Plenty of ultra-safe, affluent neighborhoods with tons of private security.

I can’t remember the detail of where I was, but I once had a conversation with a cop who had interviewed for chief of police in East Point. I told him that was the best job he never took. He wasn’t familiar with metro Atlanta, but he figured that out on his own in the interview process.
