NO, I didn`t run out of questions , it seems to me by your response someone ran out of answers!

I Live in Houston, Texas, but it wasn`t near as bad in crime when I moved here from Los Angeles, Calif. over 25 Years ago. I wonder where these people live who are saying there is NO crime in Their city???

I really don`t live in what you might call a bad area, but I hear and learn about news all over my city, good and bad news, and I`m telling you every morning, we hear of some murder/s been comitted some where in our city , and yes, about 94% by guns!

Answer 1

I agree with you completely. I live in Phoenix, Arizona. The crime rate here is growing way too fast. Believe me, I know since I work as a Bail Bond Agent. I definetly have job security here. The following is an excerpt from a "Crime Watch" report. Isn't it great, Arizona is Number 1 (haha). You can look up statistics on crime by state. Check it out.

In the year 2000 Arizona had an estimated population of 5,130,632 which ranked the state 20th in population. For that year the State of Arizona had a total Crime Index of 5,829.5 reported incidents per 100,000 people. This ranked the state as having the 1st highest total Crime Index. For Violent Crime Arizona had a reported incident rate of 531.7 per 100,000 people. This ranked the state as having the 14th highest occurrence for Violent Crime among the states. For crimes against Property, the state had a reported incident rate of 5,297.8 per 100,000 people, which ranked as the state 1st highest. Also in the year 2000 Arizona had 7.0 Murders per 100,000 people, ranking the state as having the 9th highest rate for Murder. Arizona’s 30.7 reported Forced Rapes per 100,000 people, ranked the state 28th highest. For Robbery, per 100,000 people, Arizona’s rate was 146.3 which ranked the state as having the 15th highest for Robbery. The state also had 347.7 Aggravated Assaults for every 100,000 people, which indexed the state as having the 15th highest position for this crime among the states. For every 100,000 people there were 1,011.6 Burglaries, which ranks Arizona as having the 5th highest standing among the states. Larceny - Theft were reported 3,444.1 times per hundred thousand people in Arizona which standing is the 2nd highest among the states. Vehicle Theft occurred 842.1 times per 100,000 people, which fixed the state as having the 1st highest for vehicle theft among the states

Answer 2

The highest crime rate in our history was in the 1940's. And it has dropped dramatically since that era. What HAS risen is our population, crime REPORTING and the subsequent "public hysteria".
There are some heinous crimes, as there have always been!!! but they are sensationalized, which means the average and untrained observer is likely to "notice" it more.
Per capita, crime has steadily decreased in the United States since the 1940's and the lowest drop was in the 1990's.
Criminology is a fascinating subject entailing the study of the causes of crime, amongst other factors relating to crime and criminals. And of course there are areas that have a higher crime rate...which may or may not be the case in your neighborhood.
Hand guns are by far the highest CAUSE of violent crime in any area, and people who own guns are more likely to be harmed by them than to be protected by them. And it is no secret to burglars just where in the home they are kept, so they are easily stolen and then re-distributed on the street market.
In summation, we contribute to our own demise by believing the hype and getting scared enough to own a hand gun, which far and away causes many accidental deaths and deaths to loved ones in the "heat of passion" or un-planned homicides. Peace.

I live in a small town in Indiana. The worst crime here in many years has been the theft of a couple golf carts.
There is so little crime here because almost everybody is related to somebody else and we all have firearms locked and loaded.

But I won't tell you where I am, because I don't want anybody to move here.
