I wouldn't give this much credence. Jackson, MS is in the top ten for comparable sized cities and yet...........Crime. Jackson, Mississippi, violent crime, on a scale from 1 (low crime) to 100, is 81. Violent crime is composed of four offenses: murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. The US average is 31.1.
