Where to find local crime stats?
Where can I find stats for local and metro area crime? I've got someone close to me who just doesn't think it could happen to her b/c she likes her neighborhood. When I show her horror stories from national news I get the standard denial stance, "But that happened there and not here. Stuff like that doesn't happen around here to people like me. Quit trying to scare me." And I'm made out to be a nutbar for carrying. Like I said, this person is close to me, so I'd like to back up my arguments with real, local substance.

Looking at the APD stats shows one o fthe reasons I live in Cumming. In every category, any given month in the City of Atlanta has more crime than any given year in Forsyth County (using DOJ stats for Forsyth County).tace said:If you prefer to get it from the horse's mouth, here is the one for Atlanta PD

The comparison is about the same. I would look up my hometown of Memphis on the DOJ site, but I'm scared that if I did, I may never go home for a visit again. :shock:ptsmith24 said:In 2003:Adam5 said:Looking at the APD stats shows one o fthe reasons I live in Cumming.
