How safe is your hometown?

News Story

The town has ~ 10,000 inhabitants and our previous murder was 10 years ago, so I'd say our murder rate is pretty damn low...

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

we have betwen 12 and 25 murders a year.

Los Angeles.

I'll vouch for Detroit as the safest city ever :thumbsup:

 

[George P Burdell]

Atlanta

 

[JulesMaximus]

We have about 60-70 murders a year in San Diego. Population of 1.5 million people.

Toronto has had a homicide problem this year, but other than that, murders are pretty few and far between around here.

(my city and general area is pretty safe... until you cross the river - even then, i personally have never felt unsafe in D-town)

I committed murder on 2 dozen ants in my bathroom last week. 2 more yesterday.

A quick search on sfgate reveals this -

The killing of Ronald Ryan, who was found early Saturday, brings the city's homicide total this year to 92, the most in a decade. In San Francisco.

 

[Anubis]

That's the only one I know of.

The violent crime rate here is 9 per 100,000

:shocked:

 

[AdamSnow]

My town has never had a murder in any time that me, my parents, or grandparents can ever remember...

Then again I live in Ontario, Canada in a town with 500 people...

 

[sash1]

North Yarmouth, ME = EXTREMELY safe

 

[jordanz]

I think we had two school shootings in two days -- Monday and Tuesday.

 

[Mr N8]

The murders in our city are usually gang-related or retalitory. However, we have a horrible robbery and rape rate to make up for it.

 

[rh71]

a house break-in involving thievery is the scariest story in my hometown... I doubt there's been much murder over the years.

I don't know the murder rate. I do know one thing though, I have not been murdered.
