Sure, it's not just a Baltimore problem. And good advice, btw -- thank you for sharing. This kind of situational awareness is critical.
But can we get real for a moment, and acknowledge that Baltimore is one of the most violent cities in the United States? Baltimore's crime is not just like all other cities.
Statistics have consequences. Well over a murder a day on average, as an example.
I really think the people of this city have grown complacent, when it comes to the out-of-control crime issues in the city. No, we're not the only city with these problems, and many smaller communities are dangerous, too.
But seriously – look at Baltimore's crime rates. They are very, very high.

It's #51, not even top 10. Lol

#51 when sorted by state alphabetical order. Lol. Come on. For real?
#2 murder.
#3 total violent crime.
#17 total property crime.

#40 in sexual assault, so at least we have that going for us.

A lot goes unreported here.
Also Baltimore City doesn't have a huge college age population or vacation business relative to other cities that rank highly for that.

When the data doesn’t agree with your reductive summary, claim that one part of the dataset is unreliable I guess.

Confused by your inability to sort a table but you do you my guy.
Bitsycat11 t1_iw8i8jl wrote
Yes I have learned the err of my ways and realized that Baltimore is even safer than #51 when you sort by each crime, amazing!
jhopsecrets t1_iw8jgkf wrote
Gonna take a screenshot for you... I hope it helps. This shows Baltimore is # 3 for violent crime. Cheers!

"Lmao." - anyone who can read.

I'm literally just sorting the Wikipedia list that you sourced. When Baltimore is "#51", it's because it is sorted by state name. Check out the Top Ten if you don't believe me.
That article has nothing to do with Baltimore and its crime rate. Congrats on bringing in unrelated information that I'm going to completely ignore, and instead I'm going up focus on your inability to read basic data tables.
Bitsycat11 t1_iw8hrfy wrote
That's even better! #100 in aggravated assault, #100 in robbery, #61 in rape, #96 burglary... I feel even safer
macgyversstuntdouble t1_iw8iny6 wrote
You know that you can sort two different ways? Low to high... High to low.
I've proven enough that you're not acting in good faith. Go home. Later.

Oh come on it it is consistently list as one of the most dangerous cities. Finding something on Wiki does not change it. Yes there is similar crime in every major city, but criminals were given a pass the the last 4 years. Hopefully Bates will stop that! Ready for the city to make a turnaround. There us so much wonderful in it.

Yeah there's an abnormally high amount of murders, but those generally don't target random civilians. Some of those websites are using data from 2017 as well which is why those lists you posted are inconsistent. The person I replied to also said "crime," not "violent crime," which are different statistics.
BeSmarter2022 t1_iw8gnbo wrote
I just pulled a bunch of studies but the fact is how they measure crime has as much to do with it, and that was my point. If you don’t view Baltimore as a violent city, you will be the next victim.

It's 51st in violence when sorted by state name. Quit engaging this clear troll.
rpd9803 t1_iw8ilvt wrote
Weird threat, but ok.
Bitsycat11 t1_iw8grmd wrote
Of course it's a violent city, just like any other city on Earth.
Those aren't studies, those are lists on business websites.
