yeah you can take that list and think what you want with it. here's a quote from the article
"These rough rankings provide no insight into the numerous
variables that mold crime in a particular town, city, county,
state, or region," the FBI said. "Consequently, they lead to
simplistic and/or incomplete analyses that often create misleading
perceptions adversely affecting communities and their residents."
so yeah, there you go. i'm sure those cities are dangerous, but this doesn't necessarily mean they are actually worse than the likes of philly, L.A., new york, miami, and the like.
