10 Most Dangerous States In The US
Living in the US is nothing like it was a few decades ago and we are not referring to
the improvement in services and infrastructure.
Take this in the negative light because crime has been on a rise and this is our concern
today.
The safety of life is deteriorating, blame crime and natural disasters for it.
So before you call your home "sweet and safe", know that it isn't!
We thought of compiling a list of the most dangerous state in America, see if you live
in the danger zone and freak out!
Alright, we don't want to scare you but knowledge will help you protect yourself better.
So shall we begin?
Number 1.
Alaska This remote corner of America has seen a steep
rise in crime rate over the years.
Shocked?
Alaska currently has a rate of 804.2 violent crimes per 100,000 individuals which is very
high!
Now even though robberies and homicides have decreased in the area, all over crime rate
has increased.
Do you know why?
Well, rape and aggravated assault have seen an increase leaving us alarmed!
The reason behind this increase is said to be poverty and lack of access to services
due to Alaska's remote location.
Leave the reason for a while and concentrate on the crime rate, for anyone living in Alaska
this is eye opening!
Number 2.
New Mexico The Land of Enchantment, as it is popularly
called, New Mexico is a dicey place to be in.
Per capita, it has one of the highest violent-crime rates in the country with 702.5 violent crimes
per 100,000 people.
Crime in Albuquerque, the most populated city in the state, is supposed to be the driving
force behind this increase.
The recent spike was in part due to the case management order that went into effect in
2015.
The state Supreme Court order that only affected the Albuquerque area aimed to reduce the population
in jail by moving cases through the courts more quickly.
Seems like it only increased trouble for the residents!
Number 3.
Nevada 678 violent crimes per 100,000 people, you
gotta be kidding us!
Come on, that is too much!
1,733 rapes were reported in 2017, almost 4-5 people were raped every day, is that what
we want?
If that was not enough, 224 people were brutally murdered in the state in the past year!
If you are thinking that at least your money is safe even if you are not, you are absolutely
wrong.
A total of 6,340 robberies were executed in one year in Nevada which makes it about 216
per 100,000 people!
If this is safe, we wonder what dangerous is!
Number 4.
Tennessee It might be surprising to hear that Tennessee
is among the most violent states in the nation, but with places like Memphis making national
headlines for murders every year, you can understand why.
633 violent crimes per 100,000 people isn't making matters any better for the state!
There are a lot of property crimes in the area as well, 189,835 in the previous year
to be precise!
Ladies might not want to ever visit this state because about 7 rapes occur in a day on an
average!
That is too much to ignore, pepper sprays aren't doing the trick, and authorities
need to step up!
Number 5.
Louisiana Louisiana has one of the highest total loss
amounts from climate disasters per capita, as well as the most fatal occupational injuries
per total worker.
But accidents are one thing, murders are a different ball game and with 554 in the pocket,
Louisiana isn't a safe bet!
Sexual assaults are also not to be taken lightly, 1,816 is a heavy number, right?
Oh come on, 5 rapes per day is shocking!
Summing it all up, the crime rate comes out to be 566 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
This should scare you enough to not risk your life in the state!
Number 6.
Arkansas Arkansas is another poor state in the south
with a far-higher than average number of murders, rapes, assaults and robberies per capita.
If you live here, we have a piece of advice for you.
Never, we repeat NEVER leave your car doors unlocked because it might get stolen before
you know it!
As for the violent crime rate, 551 per 100,000 people cannot be called "natural" by any
means, what say?
Interestingly, the Natural State or Arkansas as we know it has one of the lowest rates
of physical activity in the country!
Is that why they are unable to control crime in this state?
Number 7.
Alabama 407 people were killed in 2017 in Alabama
that is more than one person per day.
The chances of living in the state don't appear to be very high!
With violent crimes reaching a 532 per 100,000 people, Alabama can be called dangerous, at
the very least!
Plus Alabama is not a "sweet" home to you if you are a minority, over 50 years of
age, gay or transgender and are concerned about discrimination!
Alabama is one of only five states with no statewide legal protections for those groups,
making it one of America's least inclusive states.
It is also one of America's least healthy states, with the nation's third-highest rate
of premature deaths!
Number 8.
Missouri Do you think you are safe in Missouri?
A state where violent crime in all categories has been rising, in some cases by double digits-
Missouri is anything but safe!
557 people were murdered in 2017 in this American state and 519 violent crimes were committed
per 100,000 people!
In fact, 170,549 property crimes were also reported in the state in a single year.
We wonder how many stayed unreported!
Who are we trying to fool here, this is a lot of crime to question the safety of the
residents!
Even if you want to stay in the state, make sure you are far from Kansas City because
it has some of the highest crime rate in the state.
Do you live there?
Number 9.
Delaware When a city is crowned "Murder Town",
you have little doubt about the residents' safety!
Wilmington in Delaware was given this title a few years back because the crime rate on
a scale of 1-10 was 9!
Coming back to the state of Delaware, the crime rate is a whopping 509 violent crimes
per 100,000 people.
A total of 1,359 robberies were also executed in the state in the span of one year.
A staggering 26,334 property crimes along with 308 rapes were reported in the same year.
So how many of you call it normal and safe?
Number 10.
South Carolina With 24,896 violent crimes and 160,928 property
crimes in 2017, South Carolina is far from safe!
This was a shocking increase from the previous year and must be thought about!
Can you call 502 violent crimes per 100,000 people modest?
Also South Carolina has one of the highest cases of fatalities per 100 million vehicle
miles of travel.
If this was not enough, it is notoriously bad for property crimes, especially in places
like Myrtle Beach, which is a major tourist draw.
Seems like tourism might be affected negatively!
