Couldn't this be a case where the crime rate is inflated because during the summer you have a lot of tourists flocking in, and so you have more crime, but because the year-round residents number is still low, it gets skewed? Similar thing with Atlantic City.
i dont really know how being a community that draws a lot of guests in the summer impacts crime stats but i think atlantic city has its own problems separate from its summer guests.
Look at the stats I referenced and it will surprise you.
I did and as I admitted to there is crime in Asbury ,never said anything different.Yet you are incorrect in your assumption it's worse than Newark,Camdan or Paterson or even Atlantic City.

Since you spout your mouth without reading and a sound like a moron to those of us who know more about the cities, of course bigger cities are going to have more crimes however:

Newark: 1/90
Camden: 1/50
Asbury Park: 1/16
Your own link says it's 1/68 in AP so I don't know where you got 1/16.
AP crime is mostly gang related and occurs away from the ocean. Anyone hanging out by the beach and boardwalk and even in town (Cookman downtown area) will be fine. Cops patrol the boardwalk. It feels very safe. Go west of the train tracks and it's risky.
I'm also confused about that link/site you like to post because it includes more than just AP in its map, so I wonder if it includes other areas outside AP city limits in its crime stats as well. AP is not as large as that map and rest of the page depicts, with the color coded sections blocked out. For example, it says that the Wanamassa neighborhood is in AP but it's in nearby Ocean Twp.
I also don't believe for a second that Newark is safer. No way. Even according to your own link, Camden isn't so I won't even address that further.

agree- if you hang out by the beach or by the restaurants AP is rather safe...cross over to the otherside, not so much!
Listen you people act like you all live in Pleasantvile USA. There are different areas in Asbury Park. By the ocean is where the old gays are . No problem there since its Asburys bread and butter and plenty police.
One you pass the " railroad tracks" is the hood. But its not even that ghetto. I got some GREAT Jamaican food on Main St. @ Marks Food. There are some colorful characters but never felt unsafe. Its not even that bad ! Ive been to slums of New Orleans , South Chicago to Compton... Asbury is not that bad if you mind your business. Almost all crimes are targeted and the people know each other.
I personally prefer Asbury beach for ONLY the beach ... the boardwalk is full of old people and old gays. Not my kinda scene. After a day at the beach I cross OVER the tracks and get some local food from a local business ! i wouldnt be caught dead in one of those tacky boardwalk restaurants.
Went to Asbury Park last weekend, beautiful day at the beach. They still got a lot of work to do, once I drove outside of the main roads it can get very ghetto quickly. I give the area 10-12 yrs to fully un-diversify itself.
Have read this whole thing not one person disagrees that there are bad parts of AP or that there is crime in AP but to say it's worse than Camden or Newark ......no.
