The Murder Capital?

Question

I remember growing up in DC as being the murder capital but DC is not that dangerous like it used to be. But there still crime going it's a big city. I know there are other cities that are much worse than DC so what is your opinion on the city with the most high crime wave?

Answer 1

Camden, NJ

Based on statistics reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Camden was the third-most dangerous city in the United States during 2002, and has been ranked the nation's most dangerous city in 2004 and 2005 [2]. "Most dangerous city" is based on crime statistics in six categories: murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, and auto theft.

City Councilman Ali Sloan-El, responding to 2004 news about the 2003 statistics, cites Camden's poverty as an important contributing factor to its high crime rate. The demographic data from the Census indicates about a third of the city's residents live below the poverty line.

However, in 2005, homicides in Camden dropped sharply, to 34 — fifteen fewer murders than were reported in 2004[5]. Though Camden's murder rate is still much higher than the national average, the reduction in 2005 was a drop of over thirty percent.

Former mayor Milton Milan was infamous for his connections to organized crime. On June 15, 2001, Milan was sentenced to serve seven years in prison on 14 counts of corruption, including accepting mob payoffs and concealing a $65,000 loan from a drug kingpin
