Lock Your Doors in These Cities
November 25th, 2008



Lock your doors in these cities. New Orleans tops the nation in crime problems, according to a new Congressional Quarterly report released on Monday.

The results of CQ Press’s 15th annual crime city rankings reviews statistics on six different areas - murder, rape, burglary, robbery, aggravated assault and motor vehicle theft - for 300 American Cities.

New Orleans replaces last year’s winner, Detroit, as the top most lawless city.

Camden reached the daunting slot of No. 2.

Rounding out the rest of the top 10 were <span style="font-weight: bold">St. Louis</span>, Oakland, Calif.; Flint, Mich., Gary, Ind., Birmingham, Ala., Richmond, Calif., and North Charleston, S.C.

same old same old and no wonder for years Camden is the poorest city in the USA and Gary was second for years they have been swapping highest rankings. New Orleans is another hellhole, especially for Black males.

All the rest follow similar patterns of widespread poverty or former boomtown gone bust as each's manufacturing base toppled.
