Toronto's crime rate has actually fell 7.7% over the last 6 years although it does not seem that way when you watch the evening news.

St. Louis looks the same to me since I moved in the area 10 yrs ago. Forest Park still is a lovely place and filled with weekend runners, walkers, bikers.... I've seen folks of Indian/Pakistani descent playing cricket. Downtown St. Louis has progressed since the past 6 yrs they've been converting most of the older and once abandoned buildings into lofts. Just this afternoon I took some time away from my office to walk around the arch grounds and then checked out some lofts in the area.

Crime is off the chain in So Florida. A couple of nights ago a customer and a clerk will killed in a convenience store robbery in Palm Beach county. I think it was the same night that a clerk shot a robber in another store.

Could it bi di way dem reporting di stats?

Dem use tu noh report certain crimes fi fudge di numbers inna som major cities, soh not fi affect tourism. For example dem would report murders, but not break-ins, petty theft, etc. Not tuh mention not everybaddi will report theft, som wi jus get pi$$ed and tek extra precautions. Not tu mention, even though di law sey ah free information, dem try fi stone-wall di media wen dem ask fi di infi. Even block out some ah di info citing confidentiality.
