The FBI release information stating that 48 officers were mudered, 47 died in accidents, and 57,268 officers were assaulted in the line of duty last year. 15 out of the 48 officers mudered were ambused, 8 were involved in arrest situations, 8 were performing traffic stops, 6 were answering disturbance calls, 5 were involved in tactical situations, 4 were investigating suspicious people, and 2 were handling, transporting or maintaining custody of prisoners. This is very depressing, considering we are losing the people who are keeping us safe.======

This article talks about violent crime rates and its statistics from the past to the present. Even though our economy is doing great right now, Americas crime rate has decreased in the last 20 years. In 2009, the violent crime rate went down from 19.3 to 17.1 per 1,000 people. In 1973, it was 51.2 per 1,000 people. With the reported and unreported police reports in 2009, it was about 4.3 million violent crimes. Since 1973, when the BJS recorded everything, the violent crime rate declined 39% and firearm violence went down to 2.4 per 1,000 people. Weapons are used in 8% of violent crime incidents. Also, mostly men were victims of violent crimes. Women, on the other hand, were mostly victims to people they knew. The violent crime for men was 45% and the violent crime for women were 70%. The women rate is a lot higher, but overall, crime rates in America are decreasing.======

The article was mostly about the dangerous cities listings starting off with number one: Memphis. Following Memphis is: Tenn.2. St. Louis, Mo.3. Kansas City, Mo.4. Detroit, Mi.5. Miami, Fla.6. Tulsa, Okla.7. Nashville-Davidson, Tenn.8. Indianapolis, Ind.9. Oklahoma City, Okla.10. Stockton, Calif. Every cities ranked has a different reason for being dangerous. For example,one has to do with traffic fatalities and crimes. Others sited, or anywhere else u would see these listings, would probably have the places we, the majority of the people, think is bad, like Baltimore or New York City. They're all based on different types of data or information. New York City is actually listed on as one of the safer cities. Which is hard to believe, but its because New york in the past 20 years has made changes and now have more control over their crime. They do this by reviewing statistics, and making strategies for the police to focus on hot spots. They are going down harder on tolerance for crime, which is always good.======
