Forbes has released a new report on America’s most dangerous cities. This list differs slightly from prior compilations mainly because of the very specific criteria used. For example, New Orleans, Washington D.C., and Detroit have historically traded places over the years as the murder capital of America. But, it looks as if Washington D.C. wasn’t even considered here, and neither were places like Gary, Indiana, Atlanta, GA, Compton, CA, Newark, NJ, St. Louis, MO, or Camden, NJ.

The study used a technical evaluation of U.S. Metropolitan Statistical Areas, which apparently doesn’t always fit with what we think of as cities, but sometimes merely counties or zip codes etc. If you look at per capita numbers by city though, some of these others will surely be near the top of the list. This is obviously because their population is comprised mostly of Blacks. Regardless of the study methods used, one comprehensive fact remains - every one of these cities has a significant non-White population.

By clicking on the “Color of Crime” graphic to the right, you will be able to examine the correlation between race and violent crime. Furthermore, the report points out that the top 10 cities on this list are “transit points for Mexican drug cartels.” I find this comment pretty hard to believe though, because I’ve constantly been told by the media that Hispanics only come here to “do the jobs Americans won’t do.” I guess that includes murder as well.
