[@Imperfect21stCenturyPioneer]

Those two cities are not just the highest in their states by murder rate, which I DO go by since general property and violent crime indexes are BS, but in the entire nation too. #3 is Birmingham, A L.

[@andyjay729]

@@LilJessye94 Briggs should do a similar video including cities under that threshold. Rural/small town crime is (ahem) criminally overlooked in this country.

[@numberoneduchess]

Briggs, you were right on about Memphis. I spent a year in Hawaii with family because of Covid. The 6 months that I have been back, I now have 6 holes in my convertible top that I have taped, encountered a maan trying to steal gas from my car at the grocery during the day, and 3 men followed me home from Walmart with the excuse that I had left my mobile phine there. I hadn't not. Luckily, my neighbor was close by and called the police. That's just me. No telling how many others are in danger here. Fortunately, my apartment lease is up in 6 more months and I am out of hear. Hopefully, I will last that long.

[@JLAvey]

Yes, SLC has crime. You usually have to go out of your way to find trouble. I remember seeing stats for the State in March and seeing the murder figures for the last year and thinking that Tacoma already surpassed them all. It has some scummy sections, mostly by the tracks, but I've never felt uncomfortable walking around--- ---and you just mentioned Tacoma--- --anyway, I can walk around most of SLC and the Salt Lake Valley and not feel uncomfortable. I live in Utah Valley, so walking everywhere in the summer is a must.

[@michaeltipton5500]

Me either about Tacoma. I guess a few sketchy areas ruin it for everyone.

[@302Mustang13]

Go outside downtown and you'll find it. I ate at a KFC on the south side and the restaurant had bars on the windows. Didn't seem like a nice place.

[@AngelloDelNorte]

I've always walked at the trail following a river, and that led to parks like international peace garden (sometimes walked at night for few hours). But never seen violence or anything happening? I had a temporary job there, and my experience was just for like 3-4 months, though, but cities and walkable looked nice.

[@seanmcdirmid]

You don’t have to go out of your way to find property crime, however. When I moved to a place in the SLC foothills, my car window was busted out within a few days because I left my jacket in the car. That was a wake up call for me, I had moved there from Seattle.

I was actually kinda shocked by New Haven, CT being the most dangerous city in that state. I thought, for sure, that was going to be Hartford. Still, as for New Haven being dangerous, I live nowhere near Downtown where Yale New Haven Hospital is for example. But it’s a nice place where I live uptown a good distance away from the big city downtown itself.

[@devonschwartz6456]

GunWavin New Haven 🤷‍♂️ still the best damn pizza on earth.

[@samuellittle8066]

Hi no your right New Haven, is much safer than Hartford, Connecticut. The reason why New Haven has a high crime rate is because people come there to pray on Yale University students an so on so the criminals come from neighboring communities.

[@ssbailey2369]

New Haven isn't bad, but Bridgeport ya no way im ever living there lol

[@MzLena2You]

I am from New Haven, I definitely thought it would be Hartford or Bridgeport. Maybe it's because NH is larger? I am not sure, but although I have become much more of a homebody, I certainly feel better navigating New Haven over the other two, more so at night.

[@carywhatzizname4060]

I was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama but I definitely have no problem acknowledging the crime stats. The city went from about 350,000 population in 1960 to about 190,000 today. This amount of population would be at about the same level as 1920.

[@lilliedoubleyou3865]

Birmingham gives me whiplash, because it has some of the most deprived neighborhoods I’ve ever seen, but it also has some of the most insanely affluent areas I’ve seen, too (outside of California). Especially Mountain Brook.

[@JimoftheSlim]

​@@lilliedoubleyou3865The statistics are grim, but I don't think they're as representative as they look. The lack of incorporation of surrounding affluent close suburbs skews the numbers way down, but I wonder how different the numbers would truly be as compared to, say, Charlotte's or Atlanta's with some of the higher tax-bracket zip codes pruned off to get a closer comparison. Regardless, I've always found it to be much safer feeling than, say, Jackson or Memphis, although one is wise to stick to the carefully patrolled downtown and not venture off into the truly horrifying hoods present to the north.

[@GeeEm1313]

New Haven used to be a lot worse before they tore down a ton of public housing and fixed up downtown. Also, the pizza is nasty.

LEO friends always say there are two types of crime. Known and Random. In most cities "bad areas" contain 80% of the crime and are totally known to both law enforcement and the general public. It's when crime starts to infect everyday or prominent areas that is unnerving, which is now happening more and more due to homelessness, mental illness and lack of control at the border.

[@jamesjackson6606]

Cleveland really doesn’t seem that bad, has to be the warzone known as East Cleveland pumping up the numbers.

There are neighborhoods on this island that are VERY crime infested, such as Waianae and Kalihi. But honestly, no area is safe. It's a small enough place crums can just travel to find something to steal or someone to beat up.

Do you know if the crime statistic reporting system has been updated after the 2020(maybe 2021) shift? The reporting system was changed and over 30% of police departments were not in compliance so, they weren’t reporting any crime and it was some of the biggest cities. I remember San Francisco said they wouldn’t be able to switch over until 2025.
