Detroit of course is numero uno but why Chicago isn't on here is puzzling. This could be coincidence of course but I don't think so. Ranking all of the rest by least dangerous to most dangerous: 10th- Buffalo, N.Y. (Democrat Mayor ) 9th- Cleveland (Democrat Mayor ) 8th- Stockton, Calif. (Democrat Mayor) 7th- Baltimore (Democrat Mayor) 6th- Atlanta (Democrat Mayor) 5th- Birmingham, Ala (Democrat Mayor) 4th- Memphis, Tenn (Democrat mayor) 3rd- Oakland, Calif (Democrat Mayor) 2nd- St. Louis. [Source] (Democrat mayor) You just can't make this stuff up.... http://www.examiner.com/article/top-ten-most-dangerous-cities-america-each-led-by-a-democrat |

Don't all of these cities have a large black ghetto population? And, don't most blacks vote democratic? So what conclusion can you make? Urban black ghetto's have more crime? Duhh, that is no surprise. Do you think a white GOP mayor would make any difference? Let alone get elected? |

"Under Giuliani, Broken Windows started out as a good faith effort to reduce serious crime by going after petty crime. But over time it evolved into a branding mechanism, a means for relentlessly associating New York City’s renaissance with Mayor Giuliani’s face. Today, Broken Windows is among the most universally discredited theories in the social sciences. Study after study has concluded there is no causal link between the reduction in nuisance crimes, like turnstile jumping or aggressive panhandling, and the reduction in serious crimes, like robbery and murder. And this was easily inferable at the time. The reduction in New York City’s crime rate was echoed nationally, in many cities that did not employ Quality of Life policing. In retrospect, the principal causes behind New York City’s crime drop had nothing to do with Giuliani. They included: a receding of the ’80s crack epidemic, a growth in the prison population thanks to the so-called Rockefeller drug laws, an increase in the numbers of police initiated by Giuliani’s predecessor, and possibly, as the Freakonomics authors famously argued, the legalization of abortion a generation earlier. But, as the journalist Wayne Barrett says in Giuliani Time, “this mythology that Rudy Giuliani single-handedly supercopped, and conquered, crime in New York City” is now in the “bloodstream” of Americans." source |

Of course not all credit can go to Giuiani; but, the fact remains, crime did drop during his tenure: "And it's true. The violent crime rate dropped by 56 percent during the eight years he served as mayor. Murder, down nearly two-thirds. Robbery, down 67 percent. Aggravated assault, down 28 percent." Link |

Read the book "Freakanomics" The author gives a lot of credit for the drop in crime to Roe V. Wade. The lowlife "unborn" would have been hitting their prime crime age, late teens - early twenties when the rates started to drop. |

New York City's percentage of black or african american population is 25%. Detroit's is 82% black. Overall prison population for blacks is around 40%. This isn't because they have democratic mayors. Cities with with a high percentage of urban black ghettos have more crime regardless. |
