Is there higher crime rates in red states or blue states?

Answer 1

The crime rates are much higher in blue areas of all states.

Crime tends to occur more in areas where a large portion of the people are immoral, uneducated, lazy, weak of character, and hateful; these type of people vote for democrats by a rather wide margin.

Answer 2

Well what qualifies each state as a Red State or a Blue State? California definately has a left leaning population but the governor is a Republican and they have a history of voting in Republicans for governor (Gov Pete Wilson 1991-1999, Arnold 2003-present). Actually the political climate of California shifted from conservative to liberal during the 1950s and since then there has been 5 Republicans and 3 Democrats as Governor.

Once again I am asking how do you choose what is a red state and blue state? How can you attribute such long term statistics to what could be a shifting climate? Gun laws enacted from 1851-1950 could account for 99% of crime laws in Ca that actually make a difference, yet should the blue state get the credit?

I can tell you that liberals are more likely to not enact laws that will reduce crime. They will do the opposite in hoping that the goodwill is enough to reduce crime. Never has worked but they keep trying.

Forgot to mention..this is from a Conservative Independent. Hence there goes the only libs will say what I have said. This question as phrased is impossible to answer.

Answer 4

I think that the question does not have demographic leading. Blue states arn't all blue, and red states arn't all red.

Not to mention if you are lucky 2/3rds of the population will vote.

There is not a clear trend - also different crimes exist in different amounts in different areas.

Also take population into account --- some blue states have higher populations than red states.

Also some states which may change political blue red status may have had ongoing high crime rates compared to others.

Also take into account types of rural crime vs. urban crime - in city areas, traffic offences may be much higher.

Answer 5

YES. That is the most accurate answer you will get without a more precise question. First, very few states are uniformly 'Red' or 'Blue'. Second, given 100 studies, you will have at least 100 different definitions or the term crime rate.

Answer 6

Depends on who takes the survey, how the question is asked, who is asked, and what outcome they want. I get you the results you want on any survey. That is the great thing about them.

Generally, urban areas have higher crime rates. And, the states with the most urban areas tend to be blue. But, red states have crime as well.

so there really isn't much of a difference between the two. being a red or blue state doesn't have much of an effect on whether you have a higher crime rate.

Answer 8

Whether the state is considered "red" or "blue," the crime rate is not effected by that.
