For safest New Hampshire - stats seemed surprisingly low. Also is says 'between 2 and 3 safest' but it shows as #4.

It would have been better to report the specific areas in the states where crime is high. High crime rates are saturated in specific areas in every state. Everyone reading this artile is well aware of where the high crime areas are in their state. The article was clear to point out that there are many variables to consider before making judgements about particular states. It was interesting to note that white collar crime was not listed in the survey.

Once again STONERS you have informed me well. I am planning on moving within the next year and you have helped me eliminate an area. Thanks again!

If you want to know what's going on you have to look at the government stats this is based on, which you can access for free. This article said more than most, but provided rankings for frequency of specific crimes, not actual stats.
So Arizona is second in auto theft but much lower in some violent crimes. I'm not disputing that auto theft is a serious crime and inconvenience, but when you talk "dangerous" states shouldn't this be based on violent crimes, not property crimes? It would be interesting to see how the rankings change if that were the case.

New York is ranked 31st on the most dangerous cities to live in, yet I see it is ranked #4 amongst the world's safest big cities,hmmm...I think it's safe in my neck of the woods, you just gotta learn how to dodge in and out between the bullets that buzz by yah every now and then.

The most dangerous State to live in is the United State of America. Since the 70's crime skyrocketed. Beyond scope in fact. No one is safe. Nice to see their view of the worst place to be. Just brings fear. No service in it. Just a tool. For what, you ask. Good question!
My view is that the most dangerous place to live is where you are. That is where trouble finds most. In their secure zone. Really it is not where you are, but, are you where you should be.

Lol, I hadn't scrolled this far down yet when I made my comment to ZenAgain, up above. I'd have to agree with you.

My state didn't make the list either (Kentucky) ... I never feel like I live in a dangerous place. Most of the people around here seem to do stupid things to kill themselves, not each other.
I mean, we have a ton of the whole "we leave our front doors to our houses unlocked" kind of thing...
Even as I'm sitting here at my job, typing on a blog instead of working, my car is sitting in the parking garage... unlocked.
And while some people would call it crazy... I guess it really does seem an entire world different depending on what state you live in.

Tennessee...(#5 most dangerous) I live here and am never surprised if it tops some terrible list.
It's the buckle of the bible belt, full of southern hypocrisy ( bless their hearts).
Worst of all it's the home of Frist's HCA, the corporation most responsible for the deeply flawed health care system in this country.
And then there's the MOCK ROCK these idiots call country music.
If I see one more hillbilly making the " metal" sign when some whiney girl hits a high note I'll vomit.

HaHA all you folks afraid of big bad NEW YORK CITY - the fourth safest and by far the largest city in America- I'll take my chances right here in the Big Apple rather than in some Yahoo town with boozed -up rednecks

Actually although its not listed Washington D.C is the most dangerous city- that's because it outsources its crimes to places like Iraq, Africa, and has the highest rate of pickpocketing in the world (the IRS)

i'm happy to say, I can leave my doors unlocked my garage unlocked, and i can leave my car running with 3 purebreads in it, do my shopping & come back out and everythings just how I left it. I could leave a credit card laying on the seat and no one would touch it. I am so lucky to live where I do.

I was surprised that Alaska is on the list. Everyone I know from Alaska is an alcholic. Usually in colder areas people tend to stay inside more-so less crime.
