    and what's funny is that when I was but a youngin' I lived in Winslow TWP. Go go winslow township school#4... I used to live in Sicklerville... there's a small forest preserve there, I remember going fishing there and one day a kid pulling out a body. Ahh the old days sometimes I miss the early/mid eighties.

      They do these reports using crimes per XXXX of the population. Crimes 1000 or 100,000 or some such, its not a "total crimes" thing.

          I found the following explaination given on their website:

          "The methodology for determining America’s Safest City and Metro Area involves a multi-step process. First, 2002 city and metro area crime rates per 100,000 population (the most recent comparable final numbers available, released by the FBI in October 2003) for six basic crime categories — murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary and motor vehicle theft — were plugged into a formula that measured how a particular city or metro area compared to the national average for a given crime category. The outcome of this equation was then multiplied by a weight assigned to each of the six crime categories. Each of the six crimes was given equal weight. By weighting each crime equally, cities are compared based purely on their crime rates and how they stack up to the national average for a particular crime category. These weighted numbers then were added together for a city or metro area’s final score. Finally, these scores were ranked from lowest to highest to determine which cities and metropolitan areas were safest and most dangerous.

          While this methodology appears rather complicated, it results in fairer treatment because a city or metro area’s crime record is measured against the national average. The farther below the national average, the higher (and better) a city or metro ranked in the final Safest Cities and Metros list; the farther above the national average, the lower (and worse) a city or metro ranked in the final list.

          Like the last five years' awards, all cities of 75,000 population or more that reported data for the six categories of crime measured for the survey were included in the competition. In previous years, the population cut-off for cities was 100,000+ population. There was no population minimum for metropolitan areas. In all, 350 cities and 281 metro areas were included in the survey."

          ...just incase anyone was interested... (or patient enough to read through it all... I wasn't. I just saw "methodolgy" and copy & pasted )

              Wow, go Ohio. I figured Akron would be up higher than Dayton though, and it didn't even make the list. Detroit reigns supreme, I love that town.

                        Yeah we sent them running with their tails between their legs...well more like we captured Santa Anna but I like how the other one sounds. Texas is the best state/nation! And if Mexico took us back, we would take over, and set them straight. YeeHaww!!! Bring the Texas Revolution back!

                              I'm gonna put some of those stickers on my next gun. I'm gonna get an unmilled viking, so the surface is all flat like a big sticker billboard. then I'm going to cover both sides with Texas Spirit. (I'm usually anti sticker, but with a viking, its so plain, you have to do somethin, why not paint it with TX?)
