The latest ratings of which states are the most and least dangerous to live in or visit has been released and the usual suspects are where they ought to be. Nevada, Louisiana, New Mexico, South Carolina, and Arizona are the top five. Interestingly, these are all places where it is usually hot weather and that are transitioning from rural states to urbanized states. Most of the states in the worst half of the ratings are in the southern half of the nation with some exceptions like Alaska, Maryland, Michigan, Delaware, Washington, Illinois, and Ohio. Almost exclusively, the safer states are in the northern half of the nation. There is largely something to the belief that cold and harsh weather keeps the riff raff out and crime down perhaps.http://os.cqpress.com/Crime%20State%202008_Most%20Dangerous.pdf
