So where are you at? I heard the talk of Camden and atelast Camden has 5 cities more dangerous(coming in at #6 woo-hoo) :) . And the award for most dangerous city in the nation goes to: Detroit, a repeat from the year before *applause*
So where are you?:

We are 61 most dangerous. Take that space coyote.
My city isn't listed :(
Sweet...#20 baby...Newark, NJ!
Philly we ranked 24 but you can pblame some of the crime on Camden and them coming over to commit crimes.

Ha, There are some bad places in Philly though, you have to admit. You live right in the city?
Here's a list of Canadian cities (although far from complete). Montreal listed 6th, not bad considering the big population!

Yeah and there are several parts of North philly and parts of University City that you don't want to go to. It's odd that in the middle of some of the worst parts are these fabulous universities.
Philly is very nice for the most part but you can go from nice to crackland in 2 blocks. It's odd.
Oh, and BTW - the ONLY time Camden is in the news it's when a councelman is being arrested for being in bed with the mob or something equally crime/government related. Camden is one F'ed up town. You could drop bombs on it and no one would know the difference.
#32 most dangerous, 296th safest - Nashville.
91

Yeah north philly is bad, northeast philly is a tough area, also south philly can be dicy if you don't know where you are going.
I live smack-dab in between Washington, DC (#12) and Richmond, VA (#14), so would that make my city #13? HMMMMMMMM?
NOPE. Not listed.
peace
Tacoma, WA ... 34th most dangereous. Yowzer! :(
Little Rock - 47th most dangerous. It used to be ranked higher until they put a lot of money and resources into cleaning up gang activity in the streets and schools here. Glad to see it dropping down the dangerous list.
Where I am is not on the list, but it is one of the most dangerous towns which to drive in though. The accident rate is high for several reasons, notably because there is a high volume of traffic (50K people and one 4 lane highway as a major thoroughfare through the town) and the highway system is layed out so chaotically as to cause these problems. Let's just say personally I had more close calls and accidents in this town in one year than the previous 12 years I've driven....
The funny thing is when I mentioned these close calls to co-workers on a group trip to a meeting, one of them happened (two cars from opposite lanes nearly collided head-on in the left turn lane).
I grew up directly next to Camden. I always went through there, even worked there for a bit. Not untill I moved out of Gloucester (right next to Camden), that I noticed how bad that area is.
"What do mean you don't lock our doors & leave your kids toys outside?!?!? That's insane!!"
Funny to think about.
Ha,
I know what you mean about the lock doors. Grew up in Fairton, NJ (Cumberland county), very quiet but no jobs unless you want to work in a factory or your dad owns a farm or nursery. And I still know for a fact that some people don't lock thier doors now. I live near Camden now but I have some cushion even though my Honda was stolen a few months back and ended up in well you guessed it-Camden.
Yea, some people think I am paranoid when it comes to security.
My wife is always making fun of me, but when you have your house broken into more than 4 times in a month & run the risk of getting into a fight if you walk to the store, well you just become paranoid!
I used to carry a knife EVERYWHERE! Not because I was scared, just because lots of us did. Haha. Funny now.
So you a commuter now? Is it that dreaded 295->42 commute to get some breathing room? Man I did that for a while but I just got fed up. If you know of any places that are like 20-30 minutes out of Philly that have some quietness (I know I can't get the land in Burlington Co.) and safeness let me know.
I was thinking looking a little north like Southampton, Winslow, Medford, etc. but I have no idea what the areas are like around here. My ultimate place to live would be where I was able to have a place where I can "piss" in my yard and noone see. That's enough breathing room for me but I don't know if I can find that or something close to that up here without being rich $$$$.
Well, I used to be in NYC (#133 most dangerous) now I'm in Princeton which is 15 minutes out of Trenton so I guess I'm #21. Damn, and Princeton, NJ is so pretty, guess I'm still a New Yorker at heart. Anyway, a city with more than 7 million people is still safer than a city with 1/100th of its population. Now that's something.

Princeton is pretty nice, my wife and I have friends who live in that area Windsor).
My vote for the most dangerous place would have to go to Newark. The Car -Jacking capitol of the world!

I would have gone with DC muder capitol, but I guess they are so busy voting for crack head mayors and killing each other they don't commit other crimes. :)
Yeah, Newark. I've had friends that have been politely asked to vacate their vehicles in Newark. That was not cool.

Politley?
Wow, I know people who were just thrown out...
OMG- I live in Brick Township!
#323!
Oh no!!!
:D
Seems pretty safe to me. Do they count domestic violence?
If they do, I'm suprised Highlands, NJ isn't on there...
Post note - That means its the 5th safest community of all communitys over 75,000 people. Cool!
Not bad for Herbertsville, Bricktown, and Leisure Village!
Dover TWP (right next to us) is the 18th safest. Very nice.
You city slickers ain't seen danger until you've traveled the dirt roads of Mt. Jackson, VA.
Rednecks don't file police reports. They jess starts a'fuedin'.
A bit of advice...Stay away from guys with no teeth playing the banjo while wearing overalls, they might make you squeel like a pig.

What's that do I hear Dueling Banjos ? :)
BTW-off the subject, it may be real old but just did see Deliverance, Burt Reynolds actually had hair. Believe it or not i thought it was a good movie.

Yea, Newark is the only place I know of where you can get away with going through red lights (after you stop of course). I've heard cops say that if its late at night and your stopped at a red light, as long as there are no cars coming...just go.
Right now I live in descent part of Newark...near the business district. I drive a nice car, but I'm not really too worried about it. You just have to know what areas are safe and what areas to stay away from...

Hey, we got something in common. You live in Brick Township and I live in the Brick City! ;) I guess you gotta be from around here to get that...
my city is at 191 for most dangerous place. It should be higher for most safest city evryone who tries to rob this town ends up like swiss cheese compliments of the police dept. :D
I'm in the third safest city.. :cool:
Canada Rocks! The Capital is third safest and the biggest city is second..
Man, we are some lucky canuks!
I'll put it this way. I almost never lock my house and the keys are in my unlocked truck right now. Been here four years. never had anything stolen. Although, I do practice with my swords in the back yard in plain view of the neighbors. That may be a bit of a deterent.
Lived in Michigan my whole life. Detroit was my main stopping ground when I was young. My moms side of the family all lived there.So when I hung out it was always on Vernor or on Trumbull Ave near the old Tiger Statium.(I know like you know where the places are)
I never felt scared. I grew up with it. I lived in a surban city about 10 minutes from Detroit but I hung out with my relatives when I was able. Sometimes I dont see the big deal everybody makes about Detroit. But with the crime rate and all the other statistics I guess I can only say alright. It has it ups and down. But whos city dont?
I think California needs to drift off into the ocean never to be seen again....i noticed there tends to be a VERY HIGH CRIME RATE THERE.
;) :D

Da BRICKS! Where the rats'll rob your m-f'ing -ss. Man, I used to hang out at Zanzabar's on Broad Street in like '92. People like WU-Tang, Redman and Naughty by Nature used to roll through, then it got all thuggish and drug life took over.
I think that whole area is scheduled for "revitalization" now, which means that the indigenous people will be barred from their own land.
