Are you surprised that Flint was rated the most violent city in the nation according to a recent FBI study?
Chime in now!
A recent FBI study has confirmed that Flint leads the nation in violent crime with nearby Detroit ranking second. This is all according to FBI statistics released this week for cities of over 100-thousand people.
Although crime in Flint slightly declined last year in most categories, it wasn't enough to knock it out of the top spot.
With a population of just over 100,000, Flint reported 2,392 violent crimes in 2011, down from 2,412 the year before. There were also 52 reported murders last year, one less then the 53 reported in 2010. Those statistics mark the highest percentage of violent crimes per capita in the nation.
Following the two Michigan cities, St. Louis, Oakland and Memphis round out the rest fo the top five most violent cities in the nation.
We are asking our facebook fans this morning what can be done to reverse this trend? Are you surprised that Flint is the No. 1 most violent city in the nation?
Chime in now!
