Wow Bmore is off the chain. I seems to me cities on the eastern portion of the country are somewhat worse.

Here's a link to a Baltimore Sun article from 1992 talking about the history of crime in Baltimore. This was printed around the height of violence in the early 1990s. Interesting thing about the article though is that for some reason Baltimore has always had issues with violence.

Baltimore's crime history on a line graph is like a plane that took off experienced some turbulence here and there but never came down.
