Crime does occur in OC, especially in places like Stanton, but yes, comparing OC as a whole to Oakland is a pointless comparison and is pretty much trolling. Crime per capita, Oakland trumps L.A and OC for violent crime. We're talking triple the rate here.

Much like comparing the per-capita crime rate of Oakland to a city 10x its size.

per capita actually allows you to compare a large city to a small city

come on man, there aren't any real gangs in OC. Just a bunch of fake ones consisting of Abercrombie and Fitch wearing suburban high school students who blare 50 cent in their parents' range rovers.
