WHEN POLITICIANS SPOUT UNINFORMED COMMENTS ABOUT CRIME,
PLEASE LOOK IT UP!
WHILE "R" VOTERS ARE CONSPICUOUSLY UNINFORMED, THIS IS ONE
SIGNIFICANT ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH FACTS.
THERE ARE MANY REASONS FOR CRIME & COMPARISONS NEED TO BE
CAREFULLY MADE...FACTS MATTER!
The Most Dangerous States
The most dangerous states in the U.S. can be found in diverse areas across the country, but Southern States are disproportionately represented.
New Mexico has the dubious distinction of being the most dangerous state, with high rates of both violent and property crimes. Some lawmakers blame criminal justice reforms in 2016 for the increase in unlawful activity, as these reforms increased the number of accused defendants released pending trial. However, factors such as high population density and low per capita income are also contributing factors.
Arkansas and Louisiana are second and third on the list of the most dangerous states, followed by Colorado and California. While Arkansas and Louisiana are among the poorest U.S. States, Colorado and California are among the 10 richest. Crime can happen anywhere—even in wealthy states—income inequality is a contributing factor to high crime rates in Colorado and California.

The Safest States
When it comes to the safest states, there’s a very clear trend. New England and the Northeast are the country’s safest places to visit or live. New Hampshire, Maine, Rhode Island and Connecticut account for four of the five safest U.S. places, with New Jersey rounding out the list.
The smaller and more homogenous populations of many New England states, coupled with generally high educational attainment and median incomes, help explain why so many states in this region have low crime rates.
