-Lurid Crime Tales-
Alaska, New Mexico and Tennessee top the list of states with the highest rates of murder, rape and other violent crime
2022-10-05
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Alaska has the highest violent crime rates: 837.8 per 100,000 people

  • The Last Frontier has more men and more heavy drinkers than elsewhere in the U.S.

  • Lawmen are spread thin across the vast 665,000 square mile territory

  • Indigenous people also make up 19.6 percent of the state’s population

  • Low-crime states like Maine and Vermont benefit from 'social safety nets', experts say

  • Still, most crime is 'hyper-concentrated' in rough parts of a city, says expert Rafael Mangual

#3  If you want to get a feel of the Old West come on down to New Mexico (home of the flea, land of the plague). BTW, they nuked New Mexico first.
