Probably true, if we really want to compare though, wouldn't we have to compare the number of incidents in the V's compared to the total number of residents and same with NYC to get an accurate pictures. Would seem to be the way to get a more accurate picture, meaning any town with 10K people, that has 100 armed robberies annually, or a town/city with 2.7 million and has 10K armed robberies annually..... would be interesting if our daily paper would publish the actual police blotter like you see in most newspapers. Always difficult to determine actual crime stats, as there are just so many ways to set up the equation used to figure them !
