Not a chance mate. Visit Camden NJ sometime and you'll change your mind quick.

My son, who's a college grad with a good job works...in Newark lives in Jersey City and loves it. He's young, single and busy. I worry about him as I live in a nice suburb..and visit him..but his area seems safe. I think it's silly to paint a whole town with a single brush..there are bad sections in Newark and Jersey City for sure.

I don't find any cities in the lower 4 catagories dangerous except Elizabeth. And Rahway isn't dangerous, it's safer than the national average. Willingboro is dangerous if u work at a gas station at night, but apart from that I felt safe taking walks at night. Newark on the other hand or any other urban area, hell no.

AC had a crime rating of 1389 in '99 but only 100 annual car thefts compared to Newarks 8,000. That's the highest I ever heard anywhere.

Crime catagories really vary by city.

Why would you assume I haven't been there? I was born in the Gorbals. All my family is still in Glasgow. However I bet you've never been to Camden...or any of the towns you are spouting off about.

68 murders out of a population of 620,000 ain't so bad.

There were 48 murders in Camden with a population of 80,000 or 400 murders in Detroit with a population of 920,000.

NO way! Spent some of my childhood in Cumbernauld! Not the nicest. We had a lot of transplants from Castlemilk an other lovely neighbourhoods.

Glasgow is pretty rough though. When people go all pastoral about Scotland I don't think the East End is quite what they imagined.

Couldn't say how it matches up to Camden. Wouldn't hang around in either area frankly.
