smokinandjokin Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Most dangerous citites: 1. St. Louis 2. Detroit I think it's clear what we can deduce from this information: Violence = A good baseball team

ans4e64 Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 This list does have a fault to it, it is only done by crime rates reports, so obviously cities with big population will have more crime rates because there are more people. While I have no doubt that St Louis and Detroit are dangerous cities, in terms of a ratio of people versus crime rates, there is no competeing with Compton and Camden. I think a ratio would be a better scale for the experiment. You can have more crime rates in a bigger city but not have it be as dangerous as a smaller city with less crime rates.

The term rate means a ratio of two things. That is almost certainly how Greece ranked so high. It is Rochester's largest population center.

BoondckCL Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 369. Flint, Mich. CALL MICHAEL MOORE! Also i saw Colonie, NY on the list at number six. Those !@#$ing pricks should die of gonorrhea and all burn in hell. SIr charges are !@#$ing ridiculous. The only reason its safe is because everyone knows the price tag that comes with comitting crime. I haven't been back there since i got arressted.
