"The 10 Most Dangerous Cities in the World"

I'm curious as to why Medellin, Columbia is not on that list. I've always heard it is one of the worst cities in the world for all crimes (murder, kindnappings, etc.)

 

I would like to see what stats they are using for thier list. Maybe they have been watching to many mafia movies? Camden is not the best area, but it is far and away a safer place than cities in Africa/South America that I have been to...

 

Hey, Yo, I'm near Detroit! What about us??? The hip-hop, thug, low-life mayor has 18 body guards and a police-esque Ford Navigator... It must be bad.

Oops... The Superbowl will be ok though, just bring kevlar..

 

Good ol' Jersey!

 

Glad to see my current home for the next 3 months (New Delhi) isn't on that list. Hands down the worst/craziest traffic I've ever seen.

I've thought and long and hard on how to succinctly describe it and here goes: "Imagine driving if there were no laws or road rage and you could do whatever you want." That pretty much sums it up over here.

 

I would have thought Jo-Burg ZA. Scared the crap out of me when living there.

I would have thought Newark or East Orange....Camden...South Jersey....I will stay in North Jersey.

 

That's cheating. i thought the list was going to cover cities within civilization.

 

Can i nominate Dallas? (there is a smirk when i say that)

 

Not a word about Baltimore. We have a murder rate that is 3 times higher than LA, 5 times higher than NY, with 1/4 the people at least (only 650K). So far there have been at least 45 murders, with a murder every day in January.

but violent crime is down. So they are not beating you up anymore, just shooting you.

 

What about Lagos ?

 

Fact: I work in Camden.

I guess I should get some body armour.

 

Interesting list. Can you tell me what it says about Moscow?

 

Finally....for once.....my second home (Rio de Janeiro) didn't make one of these kinds of surveys.

Not that it would have been warranted anyways.

 

I second a vote for ol' B-more. My gf lives there (school) so I vist a lot and cringe every time I head that way. I'm a big guy so most people don't bother with me most of the time, but it still sucks walking around there. 3 of the 4 girls in my gf's house (including her) had their cars broken into w/in a week of moving in. SE DC is pretty damn bad too, but I think it's been getting a bit better as of late.

 

I have been in Karachi and Camden, and both are 'experiences.' I would NEVER travel in Karachi without 2 body guards armed with MP5's. I wish I had them when I was in Camden!

Haha! So true!

I live here too, it definitely is an 'amusing' city.

 

Ugh, I just got invited to Pakistan, too...

 

I was watching a story on Rio de Janeiro on BBC and they said there were about 10,000 murders in 2002 alone.

 

I don't understand why Butte Montana isn't on that list!!!!

 

Ah yes, that. Thanks.

It's changed quite a bit over the last 10 years.

 

That list doesn't make sense to me except for Baghdad, Kabul & Russia. Im wondering if the research was based on the amount of Armored cars bought and used to determine Dangerous-ity since it was from some car magazine. I've heard of cities with crime rates like you couldn't even imagine and they're nowhere to be found on this list.

 

Toronto would be on the list of the world's most dangerous cities if it were not for Shiggins.
