Could you post the crime stats of the entire state?

Also whats the meaning of robberies,burglaries and larceny?

[dgreco]

^ i was always under the idea of some classify as private and public, and the money amounts, I may be wrong though.

great stats, and thanks for putting the source

One interesting thing I found was that Anchorage and Honolulu are relatively safe compared to cities in the Lower 48 with similar population figures. What I mean by safe is that murders, robberies, burglaries, etc. are much lower in Anchorage and Honolulu compared to similar cities in the Lower 48. The two cities are also safer compared to many cities with significantly lower populations in the Lower 48 (Little Rock, Arkansas & Hartford, Connecticut for example). Anybody have any reasons why Anchorage and Honolulu seem to be safer than many Lower 48 cities? Just good luck maybe?

I think one is culture, a lot of people choose to be in those places not brought up into, and I think a lot of people go to these places for new starts, so they don't want to mess up. Lastly hartford does have ghetto's I don't know about little rock, I would assume they have some, and from what I have heard and seen, you don't have true ghettos in these two places.

I agree with dgreco,in Hawaii people is so happy and stuff..can't say the same about PR though...too much crime here,its the 2nd state/territory of the US with the most ghettos(after NY)

And I bet about half the people in NY ghettos are puertoricans...

Bayamon-154 murders(5 less than in 2005)

Ponce-109 murders(32 less than in 2005)

61% of murders were related to drug trafficking,14% fights or discussions,8% vengence,almost 4% domestic violence,6.5% hasn't been clasiffied yet.

88% of murders were with firearms,6%armas blancas(got no idea how to say it in english,armas blancas are knives...)2% with an object,1% estrangulation and 3$ with other methods.

Wow thats quite a bit of murders in PR. I'm especially surprised by the high numbers for the smaller cities that you posted in comparison to San Juan.

dgreco, Happy New Year too.

Thats cause murders in Camden declined about 30% in a year.About 29% of the population is puertorican and about 44% of the population of Camden is below the poverty line.

According to the Anchorage Daily News, there were 19 murders in Anchorage in 2006. They have a map of where each murder occured and the story behind each murder -

Nice map,so what do you guys think is the reason for Hawaii having so few murders?

[dgreco]

^that is pretty cool

There were 6 murders this Friday over here in PR,its like a civil war..

[dgreco]

^ not a good way to start 2007... RI usually has about 30 murders a year, in 2006 we only had 11 for the entire year... so I can't imagine 6 in a day.
