The Most Dangerous States In America Are The Red States

 It comes as no surprise and Republican run states have the most crime as well as the most poverty. But those poor assholes keep electing Republicans. Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results but that doesn't totally explain why the White trash in red states votes for Republicans. We all that most Republicans leaders are totally depraved but nobody look into why so many Republican elected officials are depraved. The answer is is simple. There are a few moral conservatives left in the GOP but the Republican base cannot relate to them because the Republican base is even more depraved than its base.

Even though Republicans are in a large part responsible for the deplorable economic condition of the red states, the ignorant immoral lazy low IQ, deplorables are even more responsible for the poverty, sexual perversion and the rest of the crime.

50. Maine
> Violent crime rate: 112.1 per 100,000 people
> Total 2018 murders: 24 (7th lowest)
> Imprisonment rate: 165 adults per 100,000 (2nd lowest)
> Poverty rate: 11.6% (19th lowest)
> Most dangerous city: Augusta

Between 2017 and 2018, the number of violent crimes — a designation comprised of aggravated assault, robbery, rape, and murder — in Maine fell by 6.8%. There were 112 reported violent crimes in the state in 2018 for every 100,000 people, the least of any state in the country.

Maine’s capital, Augusta, had the highest violent crime rate of any city in the state at 323.9 incidents per 100,000 people. But even Maine’s most dangerous city had less violence than the U.S. as a whole. There were 380.6 violent crimes for every 100,000 people nationwide in 2018.

49. Vermont
> Violent crime rate: 172.0 per 100,000 people
> Total 2018 murders: 10 (the lowest)
> Imprisonment rate: 222 adults per 100,000 (4th lowest)
> Poverty rate: 11.0% (16th lowest)
> Most dangerous city: Rutland

Vermont is one of only three states — all of which are in the New England region — to report fewer than 200 violent crimes for every 100,000 people in 2018. Vermont had the lowest robbery rate in the country in 2018 with 11.2 reported incidents per 100,000 people and the fourth lowest aggravated assault rate of 113.4 incidents per 100,000 — less than half the comparable national rate of 246.8 per 100,000.

Like most states with lower violent crime rates, Vermont has a relatively small population living below the poverty line. Just 11.0% of state residents live on poverty level income compared to 13.1% nationwide.

48. New Hampshire
> Violent crime rate: 173.2 per 100,000 people
> Total 2018 murders: 21 (6th lowest)
> Imprisonment rate: 253 adults per 100,000 (6th lowest)
> Poverty rate: 7.6% (the lowest)
> Most dangerous city: Manchester

Along with Maine and Vermont, New Hampshire is one of only three states to report fewer than 200 violent crimes in 2018. There were 173.2 violent crimes for every 100,000 people in the state, an 11.1% decline from the previous year, which was nearly the largest improvement of any state.

While violent crime is relatively uncommon across New Hampshire as a whole, not all parts of the state are especially safe. For example, in Manchester there were 593.2 violent crimes for every 100,000 people and in Claremont there were 448.6 per 100,00 — each far higher than the 380.6 per 100,000 national average.

47. Connecticut

> Total 2018 murders: 83 (18th lowest)
> Imprisonment rate: 338 adults per 100,000 (13th lowest)
> Poverty rate: 10.4% (10th lowest)
> Most dangerous city: Hartford

Like several other nearby states in the New England region, Connecticut ranks among the safest places in the country. There were 207.4 violent crimes reported for every 100,000 state residents in 2018, the fifth least among states. As is often the case in areas with low violent crime, other types of crime are also relatively uncommon in Connecticut. There were 1,68.0 property crimes, such as motor vehicle theft and burglary, in the state for every 100,000 people in 2018 — well below the national rate of 2,199.5 per 100,000.

46. New Jersey
> Violent crime rate: 208.1 per 100,000 people
> Total 2018 murders: 286 (20th highest)
> Imprisonment rate: 278 adults per 100,000 (7th lowest)
> Poverty rate: 9.5% (5th lowest)
> Most dangerous city: Camden

While the state as a whole is relatively safe, there are still parts of New Jersey that rank among the most dangerous places in the country. In Camden, for example, there were 1,638 violent crimes reported for every 100,000 people in 2018, more than four times the national violent crime rate of 380.6 per 100,000. Additionally, Trenton has a violent crime rate of 1,161.7 per 100,000 and Asbury Park has a violent crime rate of 1,107.1 per 100,000.

Crime in Rhode Island tends to be concentrated in the cities. In Woonsocket, for example, there were 589.8 violent crimes for every 100,000 people in 2018, well above the 380.6 per 100,000 national rate. In Providence, the capital and the state’s largest city, there were 454.6 violent crimes for every 100,000 people.

It comes as no surprise that Alaska is the most violent state in America.

1. Alaska
> Violent crime rate: 885.0 per 100,000 people
> Total 2018 murders: 47 (12th lowest)
> Imprisonment rate: 343 adults per 100,000 (14th lowest)
> Poverty rate: 10.9% (13th lowest)
> Most dangerous city: Anchorage

There were 885.0 violent crimes in Alaska for every 100,000 people in 2018, the most of any state and well above the national rate of 380.6 per 100,000. As is typically the case, aggravated assault accounts for the vast majority of violence in the state.

Rape, too, is especially common in Alaska. There were 161.6 rapes reported for every 100,000 people in Alaska in 2018, by far the highest rape rate of any state. Crime can tend to concentrate in areas that lack economic opportunity. In Alaska, 6.6% of the population was out of a job in 2018, the highest annual unemployment rate among states.

2. Tennessee
> Violent crime rate: 623.7 per 100,000 people
> Total 2018 murders: 498 (13th highest)
> Imprisonment rate: 553 adults per 100,000 (18th highest)

> Most dangerous city: Memphis

Tennessee has the highest violent crime rate of any state in the South and the third highest of any state nationwide. There were 42,226, violent crimes in Tennessee in 2018, more than double the number reported in Virginia, a state home to over 1.5 million more people than Tennessee.

Much of the violence reported in Tennessee in 2018 was committed in Memphis. The city accounted for roughly 30% of all violent crime in Tennessee and ranks as the most dangerous city in the state with a violent crime rate of 1,943.2 per 100,000.

3. Arkansas
> Violent crime rate: 543.6 per 100,000 people
> Total 2018 murders: 216 (23rd highest)
> Imprisonment rate: 781 adults per 100,000 (4th highest)
> Poverty rate: 17.2% (5th highest)
> Most dangerous city: West Memphis

Despite a slightly larger than average 3.6% reduction in violent crime from 2017 to 2018, Arkansas ranks among the five most dangerous states in the country. There were 543.6 violent crimes for every 100,000 people in the state in 2018, far higher than the 380.6 per 100,000 national rate.

Arkansas’s violent crime rate is due in no small part to the concentration of violence in a handful of cities. For example, in Pine Bluff there were 1,609.2 violent crimes for every 100,000 people in 2018. In West Memphis, the most dangerous city in the state, there were 1,970.2 per 100,000.

4. Nevada

> Poverty rate: 12.9% (23rd highest)
> Most dangerous city: North Las Vegas

The number of violent crimes committed in Nevada in 2018 fell by 1.5% from 2017 to 2018. The state also reported near nation-leading declines in murder and robbery, 24.1% and 20.2%, respectively. Still, the state also reported a 22.8% increase in rape over the same period, the second largest increase among states, and its overall violent crime rate of 541.1 per 100,000 people is the fifth highest in the country.

5. Alabama
> Violent crime rate: 519.6 per 100,000 people
> Total 2018 murders: 383 (18th highest)
> Imprisonment rate: 626 adults per 100,000 (10th highest)
> Poverty rate: 16.8% (7th highest)
> Most dangerous city: Anniston

Alabama’s violent crime rate of 519.6 incidents per 100,000 is the seventh highest among states. In the United States, poorer areas tend to have higher crime rates, and Alabama is no exception. The state’s poverty rate of 16.8% is also the seventh highest in the country and well above the 13.1% national poverty rate.

Aggravated assualt and murder are especially concentrated in the state. There were 7.8 homicides and 387.6 aggravated assaults for every 100,000 people in Alabama in 2018, each the fifth highest rate among states.
