11th Annual Most Dangerious Cities Awards

I think Louisville was on that list because the city has been relatively able to keep its crime in check, that's what I'm thinking.

I think Louisville was on that list because the city has been relatively able to keep its crime in check, that's what I'm thinking.

Louisville Crime Rate = 5964.6

Louisville Violent Crime = 862.9 (behind San Fran (866.3) and ahead of Oklahoma City (859.3))

NYC Crime Rate = 3,722.6

NYC Violent Crime = 1063.1

So really, neither one of these cities is very dangerous.....

[EbonyGardens]

That's a good thing because horrific crime can lead to people exiting for the suburbs, or leaving altogether.

I'm in Australia, no violence in Sydney.

San Fransico? Safe? That's like saying touching an oven cooking a freaking turkey is safe

Raleigh happens to be one of those cities that puts a cap on reporting crime, all for the sake of the city's image. I can tell you personally Raleigh can be seriously dangerous on some parts of town. You're guaranteed to become a victom before it's all said and done. I find this to be misleading on police dept's behalf. This leads people to believe, they can just scurry about at night without a worry, next thing you know, you hear gunshots.

If you're living foul then you have every reason to worry about being a crime victim. As long as you aren't involved in the street life then crime shouldn't touch you. The only exception is when you live in or around a notoriously dangerous neighborhood, but even then you shouldn't worry about being a victim if you aren't looking for trouble.

^That's messed up, sorry for what happened with you and your wife, sucks big time.

[FromCityToRural]

All this, and New Orleans decided to quit reporting crime statistics. This is nothing against New Orleans per se, I'd quite like to go there someday, but that's just a cop-out.

[silentbobbio]

im kinda of surprised that my home town louisville is one of the safest cities in the country. while all other cities in proximity to louisville are doing pretty bad (nashville, cincinnati, memphis, etc.)

[UptownNewOrleans]

I was in the Army and had the misfortune of being delpoyed to NOLA for Katrina assistance a day or so after the storm. The NOLA police are corrupt beyond comprehension. I won't go into specifics, but it has (probably unfairly, but I could care less) changed my outlook on all police departments not only there but, in every town.

[kayman]

New Orleanians have known for decades that the NOPD is crooked. That's why they get no love, especially on my block. It's kind of sad because there are good cops but the few crooked ones mess it up for everybody else.

[UptownNewOrleans]

It's instances like yours that are the reason why there's little faith in the police.

My wife was robbed at the Birmingham Greyhound station in 1999 I believe.
