CALIFORNIA—The California Globe reported on June 27, that 11 cities in the state of California are considered to be part the 100 most dangerous cities in the U.S.
Statistics gathered by Roadsack.com confirm that the chances of becoming a victim of a violent crime is greater in at least 11 cities including: Oakland, San Bernardino, Stockton San Francisco, Vallejo, Richmond, Berkeley, Modesto, Bakersfield, and Rialto.
Roadsack reportedly gets their information from the FBI reports and violent crimes per capita and property crimes per capita.
California criminal defense lawyer, Michael McKneeley, explained on his website how the crime rate is figured.
The crime rate would be the number of reported crimes standardized by population. To determine the crime rate, you divide a city’s population by 100,000 to obtain X. You then divide the number of offenses by X. This gives you the city’s crime rate per 100,000 residents for a specific offense.
Hate crime numbers are increasing nationwide. The FBI says, it's also happening in California. Here's what we know: https://t.co/p2NK9jxBu7 #hatecrime #FBI @FBISacramento
