First of all, The Bronx is not a city, it is a borough of New York City.
Minneapolis does have crime-issues but nothing really comparable to Detroit or New Orleans. Detroit, St Louis, Oakland, New Orleans Buffalo, and Newark have the highest murder rates of cities with populations of 250,000 or more.
It is hard to say which cities are the worst though. Because Newark is apart of the New York Metropolition Area. So is it really a major city or just a Metropolition Center? I think it is Detroit though that is overall the worst for crime. There are close ones though like St Louis and Baltimore.
Missouri is not, I repeat IS NOT, claiming East St. Louis.
I've heard its nice this time of year. Monsanto is giving out free tour passes to their beautiful facility. Bring a disfigured baby with you and they'll even throw in some free on site bottled water.
Even though the Bronx is not its own city like someone else said, it DOES NOT belong on this list at all

I agree it's very urban, probably home to the most urban residential areas in the country aside from Manhattan.
But the reason I said it doesn't belong on this list is because its murder rate is nowhere near as high as cities generally considered to be the most dangerous in the country.
Without googling, I can tell you that at least five cities in this poll have higher rates of violent crime than Chicago.
