Notes

According to NeigborhoodScout, there are top most dangerous cities in the US: Detroit, MI Memphis, TN Birmingham, AL Baltimore, MD Flint, MI St. Louis, MO Danville, IL Saginaw, MI Anchorage, AK Camden, NJ. There are five main factors that contribute to an area's crime rate: poverty rate, unemployment rate, violent crime rates, property crime rates and media income. Violent crime includes murder, nonnegligent manslaughter, aggravated assault, forcible rape, and robbery. In many areas, high unemployment rates correspond to high crime rates. Property crime includes burglary, theft, and car theft. The median income of an area can influence crime rates. Millions of Americans live in cities dubbed "one of the most dangerous cities in America." However, simply because they live in a dangerous place doesn't mean that they will become a victim of a terrible crime. The most important thing to do when living in a dangerous area is to install a simple home security system. By having a home security system, homeowners deter up to 80 percent of burglaries. Many studies show that home security systems are the most effective way to deter crime from your home (other than hiring a professional security guard to watch your front door).
