Were you looking for violent crime rates or just crime rates.
Here is a break down of cities with high crime rates by city size.
As you will notice, many cities who have a very high crime rate do not neccessarily have a high violent crime rate.
Worst Large Cities for Crime (>500,000 pop.)
Although Arizona has two of the most crime-ridden cities in the nation, their violent crime rates are relatively low.
Tucson, AZ
Tucson has one of the highest property crime rates in the country, especially larceny. On the bright side, Tucson has a low murder rate.
Memphis, TN-AR-MS *
Residents of Memphis contend with the nation's second-highest violent crime rate. In addition, the rate of robbery and burglary are among the nation's highest.
Miami, FL
Miami's violent crime rate is the highest in the nation, with especially high incidences of robbery and assault. Thankfully, the murder rate is relatively low.
Phoenix-Mesa, AZ
Phoenix-Mesa has one of the highest rates of auto theft in the nation.
Little Rock-North Little Rock, AR
The Little Rock area has a high rate of property crime, especially larceny.
Worst Medium Cities for Crime (200,000-500,000 pop.)
On the other hand, the South seems to be particularly challenged with crime:
Myrtle Beach, SC
Myrtle Beach has the highest total rate of crime in the nation, due to a high rate of violent crime and the nation's highest rate of property crime. In particular, the rates of assault, burglary, and larceny are particularly high.
Montgomery, AL
The murder rate is significantly high in Montgomery, as are the rates of robbery, burglary, and larceny.
Laredo, TX
While the larceny rate is high in Laredo, residents can take comfort in the relatively low rates of murder and forcible rape.
Waco, TX
Like Laredo, violent crime is less of a concern in Waco than property crime. In particular, burglary and larceny are a problem.
Wilmington, NC
Wilmington has the second-highest rate of burglary in the country. On the other hand, the rates of forcible rape and assault are low.
Worst Small Cities for Crime (<200,000 pop.)
Topeka, KS
Topeka has the highest rate of property crime among cities with fewer than 200,000 population. The rates of larceny and robbery are especially high.
Pine Bluff, AR
Pine Bluff has a high rate of murder and the ninth-highest rate of robbery in the nation.
Monroe, LA *
Monroe suffers from significant property and violent crime, especially assault and larceny.
Alexandria, LA
Alexandria has the fourth-highest violent crime rate in the nation. Murder and assault are a problem in particular, but the rate of forcible rape is low.
Florence, SC
Assault and larceny rates are high in Florence, but the murder rate is low.
