The violent crime rate was about 75% higher in Detroit than in Minneapolis in 2009

- October 19, 2010

Christopher Uggen reports.

I’m surprised the difference is so small. I would’ve thought the crime rate was something like 5 times higher in Detroit than in Minneapolis. I guess Minneapolis must have some rough neighborhoods. Or maybe it’s just that I don’t have a good framework for thinking about crime statistics.
