most dangerous cities in america

The yearly list of the most dangerous cities in America has just been released today and it shows St.Louis, Missouri at the top of the list at number one. The study also states that for every 100,000 residents, there were 2700.1 violent crimes that occurred in St.Louis in 2009 and 429.4 violent crimes per 100,000 residents is regarded as the national average.

Some of the other most dangerous cities to make the list were Detroit, Michigan, Flint, Michigan, and Oakland, California. So where is the safest city in America? That would be Colonie, New York. Colonie has had the honor of the safest city with a population over 75,000 for the second year in a row. The FBI calculates the rankings of the cities with population and crime data that they gather. The FBI stated that often times the rankings are unfair, and does not endorse them.

So bad reading for the people of St. Louis who will be feeling more fearful of their safety knowing their city has such a bad record.
