Here are the lists of the ten most dangerous and safest cities in the U.S. according to Congressional Quarterly. Many of the officials in the cities on the most dangerous list are not happy. So far none of the cities on the most safe list are complaining. I wonder how it is that Philadelphia didn't make the top 10 most dangerous? And what about Baltimore?Top Ten Most Dangerous Cities

I would be interested to know exactly what the criteria was that was used to determine the final cities on both lists...
Hi Shelly,
This is the general criteria that they used;
"The rankings of the safest and most dangerous cities and metropolitan areas are calculated using six basic crime categories: murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, and motor vehicle theft.
These categories have been used for determining city ratings since 1999. The rankings include all cities of at least 75,000 residents that reported crime data to the FBI in the categories noted. In the most recent survey, 378 cities were considered for the awards."
Gosh, wouldn't everybody just love to live in the safest cities? I think everyone in the most dangerous should just come pool their resources, move to Lake Forest and see what happens.
Liz,
Well one thing that would happen is all the people in Lake Forest would probably move. (lol)
Then the people who move to Lake Forest would have an entire city to themselves already built and everything. I say they should do it and move. Every time a the original Lake Forest people move to a new city the people from the worst city list should move there after the Lake Forest people make it a safe city. That is a good way to spread the safe factor. Okay I am just kidding. (ha ha)
Ehav,
LOL
