Reply to comment by TheGeneGeena in List of U.S. states and territories by violent crime rate by ezbnsteve

I am going to assume it is Memphis’s fault.

New Orleans as well for LA. I'd think Little Rock might be contributing more to this since their violent crime stats have been up quite a lot over the last couple of years, but I think these are from 2019.

The link says 2020, but it’s Wikipedia, who knows? Birmingham is carrying all of the weight of Alabamians violence, with Montgomery picking up what’s left. Georgia has Atlanta, enough violence for the entire Southeast (this is per 100,000 people). I’ve been to Mississippi, heck I’ve been to jail in Mississippi, Mississippi is just failing to report statistics. No way is it not more Red.

I definitely could have just misread in a hurry!

Mississippi and failing something is nothing new though, so I can absolutely believe they failed to accurately report.
