Does it seem like your neighborhood is going to the dogs? Here's one resource that will help you confirm or allay your suspicions. In this volume of crime comparison data for all American cities (and their surrounding areas) boasting a population of 75,000 or more, Kathleen O'Leary Morgan, who has held several positions with the U.S. Department of Transportation, and attorney Scott Morgan display amounts, rates, and trends for total crime, violent crime, rape, murder, robbery, assault, property crime, burglary, larceny theft, and motor vehicle theft in both alphabetical and rank order. Appendixes include an explanation of metropolitan area coverage, national crime trends from 1992 to 2011, and a 2011 national, metropolitan, and city crime statistics summary.
VERDICT A no-frills assemblage of crime tallies, city by city.
