Crazy, Weird how some of the US cities are way up there, even though they seem to be run in the mill cities (Baltimore, St, Louis. Ect). New orleans was a big shock.
Other than those, not a whole lot of suprises.
you've clearly never been to baltimore...I'm shocked it wasn't higher up tbh

Surprised that Baltimore is up there, or any U.S city for that matter.

Corrupcy and drugs = Baaaad

Baltimore represent. I'm not even remotely surprised that we're up there, this place is terrible.
|
STL represent!!!
i work at a nonprofit in downtown stl and this isnt that surprising unfortuantely.

Seems top 20 is dominated by South American countries.. As expected one could say, BUT what about a lot of african countries(especially the really poor ones like liberia)?
I'd reckon the murder rate to be even higher there, but im guessing statistics aren't really at close hand in those regions. Something to think about.

Hrmm surprise Oakland, California is not in there.
|
Drug wars and gangs. Sure there are poorer regions and cities but it seems with the prevalence of the drug trade in Latin America, higher murder rates would make sense. Then again, surprised that Syrian and Libyan cities did not make the list after all they been through this year.

Clearly its becuase their brains are underdeveloped compared to the west.

Jesus, this makes me glad to live in Western Europe, the region of the world with the lowest homicide rates.

That explains why Mexico is so safe and why North Dakota is so dangerous.

Oh guys trust me Russia and Ukraine would lead in this... If you talk about small mobs, but chances if you are not in center of the city you better know how to fight/run... giving cellphone is easiest way out...

This list is about murders, not war casualties.

I live in St. Louis, the only bad part of St. Louis is East St. Louis, where it can be pretty egregious, most of the people I know have never been there. But other than East St. Louis it really is a nice place to live in.
Wow, what an ignorant post. Perhaps you live in the county and haven't been into the city. Cruise through some poor neighborhoods in St. Louis, see poverty and you'll see how someone desperate to survive might be motivated to kill another person. East St. Louis, even though the shack towns are gone, is merely a sample of what is to be found on the other side of the river.

Ok this makes me want to not visit Mexico ever 
|
Anyone else expect Detroit to be a little higher?
|
i guess the Latinos like it rough, huh?

Honestly the core part of downtown by the casinos and sports stadiums has gotten much better in the last 10-15 years. I don't mind being in that area of Detroit at night. But there are tons of other spots nobody in their right mind would go to.

New Orleans may be really bad but the metropolitan area is really nice.
