For the second year in a row, using exclusive data developed by Dr. Andrew Schiller's team at NeighborhoodScout.com, and based on FBI data from all 17,000 local law enforcement agencies, WalletPop reveals the top 25 most dangerous neighborhoods with the highest predicted rates of violent crime in America.

This year, Chicago took the not-so coveted top spot from Cincinnati for the most dangerous neighborhood, while Atlanta has the highest number of neighborhoods making the list (four).
You may ask, why neighborhoods and not cities? Schiller explains that even the cities with the highest crime rates can have relatively safe neighborhoods, and thus it is less useful to generalize about an entire city.

Sadly the people that live in these neighborhoods will hang this shit on their government provided fridge's. They've worked so hard to make it on the list, finally something to be proud of.

I tried to look for information on the sources to see how this was all compiled. If it came from the Uniform Crime Report Data, then the results are moderately under-exaggerated... which means that the chances of actual victimization are even greater than predicted. The UCR is based off of crimes reported... violent crimes such as rape, assault and some forms of personal robbery usually go unreported. This doesn't take away from the consistency of the research, but keep in mind that things ar More..

I would liken it to a river in the outback, Australia.
You can try to cross it, but you won't make it to the other side in all likely hood.

twas I. And from what you just posted it does look like it is UCR data... aka FBI aggregate data. I was surprised to see that BMV and Burglary were also included into the algorithm since I was under the impression that the crime victimization rates were in regards to violent offenses only. However, property crimes, being as prevalent as they are, would knock some of these neighborhoods sky high in victimization rates, if one were to include such data.

What do you expect? It was the white people doing the statistical study. Of course, they pulled the black areas out to be shown. There I said it.

Because the 'black areas' of town have the highest calls for service and police saturation, doofus. Don't you have to pick up your mom from her "dance club" soon?
