Your Odds of Being a Victim
Why neighborhoods and not cities? 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. But using exclusive data developed by Dr. Schiller at NeighborhoodScout.com, and based on FBI data from all 17,000 local law enforcement agencies, our gallery counts down the 25 neighborhoods with the highest predicted rates of violent crime in America.

Our government does not care about lawabidding citizens. That is why they fund criminals through social services which encourages them to breed more criminals. The thugs from south of our border and other third world countries are allowed to continue to come here, with million's of illegal's making their fist crime, when they illegaly cross our border and our government does not do a damn thing about it. Why would you expect them to become law abiding. Why would anyone expect them to be responsible when they are rewarded for breaking our laws! Stupid damn government.

Haiti is an island nation with little or no natural resources. Japan is an island nation with little or no natural resources. How come Haiti didn't attack Pearl Harbor.

Wow, how superficial.Perhaps you should talk about the drug trade and how dirty money fuels the violence. Then really get deep. Talk about how many "nice" neighborhoods fuel the cycle by providing the willing, customers. Or even how people from nice neighborhoods end up dumped in the city when addiction gets the better of them. Its nice to believe evil can be contained in nice walled off boundaries.

MaryJRod 03:28:20 PM Jun 22 2009 Report This! White or black,...........crime is crime and to make it a black or white thing is just foolish and stupid.========================Now this is a foolish and stupid statement. Everyone of those 25 neighborhoods are BLACK. 90 percent of the US Prision population is BLACK. Once wealthy African Nations are not in the sewer after WHITES were driven out and you still write that crime is not a BLACK thing. Even rich and wealth BLACKS are still killing people so don't blame it on poverty. It is a BLACK thing. If I see a black man walking down my street I load my shotgun and call 911.

The Federal Government and BLACK ORGANIZATIONS now have a policy of breeding BLACKs with WHITE WOMEN. They think they can breed out that NEGRO DNA the creates the Low IQ and desire to Kill. The problem with BLACK MALES is there are too many damm BLACK MALES. Look at what breeding did to OBAMA, he is so tame and timid now that North Korea could bomb us and Obama would just eat a dish of ice cream.

Philadelphia Broad St and Duphin are around Temple University and this area has been a BLACK DEATH CAMP SINCE THE 1960 BLACK RIOTS. Now this Philadelphia BLACK DEATH CENTER is operating on its 5th generation of BLACK street killers. No whites ever go there so them are killing their own BLACK people kile paranna fish. Blacks do not have any place in America except in a prison.

There are "Bad Apples" in every crowd. I dont thank the problem is political either. Also for people to say its because they grew up around crime is the poorest excuse i've ever heard. I grew up in some "Bad" neighborhoods an it didnt make me turn to crime as a way of life. I truly believe it all has to do with your "home-training" or the lack there of. I knew as many white criminals as black criminals so for ANYONE to make it a racial issue I believe they need to do some soul searching of their own.
