Meh, Indiana isn't on either list. We're just too damn pedestrian. I plan on inciting riots in order to boost our rating. Video footage at eleven!

thats reality sad but true.
i've spent time in the south, a lot of them good ol boys like to get drunk and fight, especially if your an italian looking boy from new jersey gettin with their women
(but after they got to know me they realized i was totally cool)
only after we went at it on the lawn or outside the bar for a bit.
oh the memorys!
oh, shit, my point, the good ol boys arent really into fixin to attacking, robbing and shooting and raping much, of course every groups got its bad ones but in general they aint violent.
We have our version of good ol' boys as well. They're just called white trash up here. Just go to your garden variety trailer park and you'll see. They make me sick, but the fact remains, even in the trailer parks the crime rate is mostly non existent there as well. So this dieversity thing, while I understand the philosophy, appears to be anything but kosher in most cases. Sad yeah, but it's true.
yup, it is what it is...it's funny when people talk shit about this state like there's nothing serious crime wise that goes on and how criminals from the lower 48 are so much more hardcore...i dunno, i guess they figure it being isolated from the rest of the states and having less people that it means there's less crime or something :dunno: overall numbers are far less, but per capita sure isn't...you've got it right for sure
Michigan in the middle of the pack? You have got to be shittin' me! We have Detroit mother fuckers...DETROIT! What the fuck? That should get us a top 5 alone plus throw in shitholes like Flint, Saginaw and Benton Harbor...we were robbed again. Were number 1 in unemployment for fucks sake. And, on top of all that we have the Lions! Middle of the pack my ass.

Yeah, like Nevada. Isn't that where the Underground Railroad dropped off all the former
slaves? :rofl:
Your state came in behind my state. And we're a former slave state. And at one time, several years ago, the Virginia city that I lived in was voted as the #1 place to live in the United States by Money Magazine - several years running. I haven't checked to see where it stands now. Should still be pretty high though. We had pretty strict zoning and worked hard at urban planning. Call it snobby if you will, but we didn't allow trailers and double wides either. That kept out the redneck, meth smoking element. If I was on the board of supervisors where I live now, I'd also try to enact that restriction here. But on land that I buy and resell, I almost always insert restrictions on double and single wide trailers in the covenants and restrictions on the deed - especially if the land is anywhere near me. I'm not going to allow things that bring my property value down and potentially bring "bad elements" closer to me. We don't have a major crime problem here. But most every murder, rape, disorderly conduct, assault, child molestation, drug dealing and burglary charge that you hear about stems from one of those trailer parks. I'd eliminate all of them.
Still, this was interesting. I expected to see New York or someplace like that be #1 on the most dangerous places. Instead, NY is ranked pretty high on the safest places, along with West Virginia (another surprise), and Tennessee and Oklahoma are on the most dangerous list.
Hahaha! I loved your post. Indiana is safe! That's why I love it here
I still carry my guns though

It seems that most of the safest states share their statelines with
Canada
A common misconception is that Canada is safe. I read somewhere that if Saskatoon, Regina and Winnipeg were American cities, they would be in the top ten most crime-filled cities.
The more you know.
That's Bullshit.
I live in New Hampshire.
The reason why the stats say we are the safest is because a great deal of the criminal behavior is by those in authority.
Ive re edited this post 3 times - trying to illustrate the sickness in this State.
its just not believable.
I don't know how to type this out without it reading like total bullshit.
New Hampshire hosts Motorcycle Weekend and headquarters to some of America's worse motorcycle gangs, and yet we have such low crime?
This is just one of the stories I could find on New Hampshire police that was not covered up.

In New Hampshire no one gets involved even if an officer is down because we do not know who the bad guy is.
this is not including the social workers exploitation of there patients, tax money disappearing into the pockets of politicians.
real estate fraud, white collar criminals, and so on.
I use to work in Boston MA and walk the streets, and I felt safer there than I did at home in New Hampshire.
Nevada is the most dangerous state?
Oh well, still worth the risk. That is until a Bunny Ranch opens elsewhere. :thefinger

Woohoo! I'm number 15 most unsafe!!! I kick ass!
My thoughts exactly as well. Never wanted to even visit NY state, let alone the five buroughs that makes up NYC. They can keep it as far as I'm concerned. And Jersey as well from all three people I've known that have went there (I keep hearing it refered to as the armpit of North America, not meaning to offend anyone from there).

I'd say there are a few. But an observation doesn't prove a cause & effect. Trying to do a correlation study (much less cause & effect) when you don't have all the statistical base data (or don't fully understand correlation analysis) is like peeing on an electric fence (that you're not sure is off): it probably won't end well. But people try to make bread without flour around here all the time.

So...
I don't need an in-depth analysis. It's anecdotal to/for me. In the five state (ND, SD, MN, WI, IA) midwest area, there are essentially two areas where the appalling statistics happen: Minneapolis and Millwaukee. Any coincidence that these have the most dieverse populations? My dad grew up in a neighborhood with Italians, Swedes, Germans and other European-Americans, with a non-existent crime rate. It was after the neighborhood was flooded with outsiders that the crime rate exploded. I'm not a genius, but that seems like one helluva coincdence to me. I wouldn't say it's racial as much as it is cultural, because with that influx there are also probably more white trash criminals as well.
There is no unity/integration. Balkanization has already begun.
So correlation proves causation? Well, good luck with that.
Cum hoc ergo propter hoc.
In quite a few cases that's correct. What you just posted conveniently avoids the fact that with influx of X people crime rate also went up. That's not a coincidence.
