bayarea02 Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Okay, so that's 16 murders for 2005 (116k/7k = 16.57) for a murder rate of 14.28 per 100,000 According to Wiki there were 68 murders in Compton, CA in 2005 and with a population of 93,000 (2000 census) that's a murder rate of 73.11 per 100,000. According to the CBS affiliate in San Francisco there were40 murders in Richmond, CA in 2005 and with a population of 99,000 (2000 census) that's a murder rate of 40.4 per 100,000.

Buffy Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 then why isnt compton the most dangerous city in california if thats true?Because the "dangerous" list combines the entire laundry list of violent crimes, not just murder. I haven't taken the time to go through the list in detail for methodology, and I don't have the full 2005 document from this source. There are other sources as well that you can find on the internet: Rand has a site that gets you to statistics, and the FBI maintains lots of them too. The one I linked above is a consultant on the topic so he charges for the data he massages. Cheers,Buffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
