Camden had the most violent crime in 2019 [1], but are around the 12th highest population in NJ in 2017 [2]. They are the 10th most dangerous city in the country [3] as of 2020 according to neighborhood scout. The FBI ranked it #1 in 2012. [4]
Yep, sure seems like a success story....

- compscistd 6y agoNot sure if you’re being sarcastic, but good stats. From #1 ranked dangerous country in 2012, a disbandment in 2013, and #10 today seems at least somewhat successful to me
- waiseristy 6y agoNot sure how a steady decline in crime over a 10 year span is a failure! https://www.tapinto.net/towns/camden/sections/law-and-justice/articles/camden-sees-crime-drop-over-past-decade https://www.tapinto.net/towns/camden/sections/law-and-justic...
- therealdrag0 6y agoHasn't crime declined in a lot of places though? What's the control?
- Nightshaxx 6y agoThird most crime in 2019* whoops
- rland 6y agoFrom tfa: > Homicides in Camden reached 67 in 2012; the figure for 2019 was 25. yes, I would call almost a 2/3rds reduction in homicides a success
