I dont know too many people considering crime data in a rank list. But if you are that concerned, you should take the population density into account as well. Atlanta falls into 16th place on that list but our population(city not metro) is four times the size of Camden NJ yet their crime index is close to twice ours.

I certainly don't, I'm from one of the "dangerous areas". I just saw it discussed back and forth in another thread.

Here's the CQ's breakdown with population like you mentioned:
