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.

Ah, beat me to it on that link.Claire said:you can try this but I don't think its very current
http://www.city-data.com/
also - I think Cherokee prints a local weekly paper listing some of the weekly arrests - perhaps the county where she lives has some sort of crime stats in a local paper
Any luck convincing her yet?

DC's "crime index" is lower than Atlanta's. Not sure what the calculation for it is, though.Malum Prohibitum said:You should look at DC. :wink:
In 2004:City-data.com crime index (higher means more crime, U.S. average = 325.2)
Statesboro Crime Index: 287.9
Atlanta Crime Index: 934.1
D.C. Crime Index: 675.2
:lol: True...good luck with it. Ramm has got some subliminal message things for adjusting people to guns. :?
