ORIGINAL: Moonhead Aren't all three 600,000 population shy of providing a decent comparison with a population of a quarter million, though? Cities with a population of 850,000+ and lower murder rates would be more useful as a yard stick. According to Wikipedia, there are no American cities with a population over 850k with a murder rate lower than Marseilles. None. The closest is San Diego, which has about a 50% higher murder rate (3.5 per 100,000 residents). The highest is Philly, with a murder rate of 21.1 per 100,000 residents, almost 9x the rate of Marseilles. So the worst city in France has a lower murder rate than any city of comparable size in the 'States? some more pixels in the picture, as I wrote in an earlier post I always considered marseilles as a dangerouse city as it was connected to naples' criminal cartel "camorra" and it is a node for smuggling drug into our country, in 2012 (when the data in the article were taken) naples had a record in murders (62 hmicides in a city of one milion population) due to a war between two clans, I remember the situation calmed down when the governament threaten to send the army to support police, so I think that the raise in the homiceds in marseille where part of that power war, blame the catholics if you want cammorists are known to be devotees in their own way. if you want to compare with cities in the usa with a population between 750k and 1.25M we have: Dallas TX (1,241k) 12.4 Indianapolis IN (838k) 11.6 Jacksonville FL (976k) 11.1 San Francisco CA (820k) 8.4 Charotte NC (808k) 6.4 Naples Italy (975k) 6.3 Forth Worth TX (770k) 5.7 San Jose CA (976k) 4.6 Austin TX (832k) 3.7 Marseilles France (850k) 3.5
