Although in 2004 violent crime in Memphis reached a record low for over a decade, that trend subsequently reversed. In 2005, Memphis was ranked the 4th most dangerous city with a population of 500,000 or higher in the U.S.[16] Crime in Memphis increased in 2005, and has seen a dramatic rise in the first half of 2006. Nationally, cities follow similar trends, and crime numbers tend to be cyclical. Local experts and criminologists cite gang recruitment as one possible cause of the rise in crime in Memphis and to a reduction of 66% of federal funding to the Memphis Police Department.
In the first half of 2006, robbery of businesses increased 52.5%, robbery of individuals increased 28.5%, and homicide increased 18% over the same period of 2005. The Memphis Police Department has responded with the initiation of Operation Blue C.R.U.S.H. (Crime Reduction Using Statistical History), which targets crime hotspots and repeat offenders.[17] Memphis ended 2005 with 154 murders, and 2006 ended with 160. 2007 saw 164 murders and 2008 had 168. In 2006, the Memphis metropolitan area ranked second most dangerous in the nation, it also ranked as most dangerous in 2002 and second most dangerous the year before in 2001. Recently, Memphis ranked second most dangerous among cities over 500,000 in 2007, as well as the second most dangerous metropolitan area once again.[18] In 2006, the Memphis metropolitan area ranked number one in violent crimes for major cities around the U.S according to the FBI's annual crime rankings, whereas it had ranked second in 2005.[19]
Recent statistics show a downward trend in crime in Memphis. Between 2006 and 2008, the crime rate fell by 16%, while the first half of 2009 saw a reduction in serious crime of over 10% from the previous year. The Memphis Police Department's use of the FBI National Incident-Based Reporting System, which is a more detailed method of reporting crimes than that used in many other major cities, has been cited as a reason for Memphis's frequent appearance on lists of most dangerous U.S. cities
Also...Memphis looks to be a lovely place,Last I checked,That was Part of Tn...Right?:biggrin:
I consider that a good thing!! and it ultimately depends on the stations you have near you that come in!!! We live right next to Knoxville so we have all the latest songs playing on the radio XM helps too! Not sure if you read ALL the posts in this thread or not but I happened to live in Milwaukee, WI for 30 years before moving south so your kind of preching to the quire on life up north and the life down south. Plus E. TN was our vacation spot since I was 17 yrs old and when I was turned 30 I decided to move here and be on vacation year round.. When we want to even move MORE back in time we spend time at our cottage (that sleeps 16 people) in the Cherokee National Forrest with No TV's, No Cell service, Just Bonfires, beer drinking, Trout fishing, Deer hunting, Bear hunting with bears and wild Hogs walking around the cabin at night!! LOVE IT!!I listen to all my favorite songs from 15 years ago on the radio...Thats about how far back in time it is down there...:biggrin:
yep! and that Part happens to be over 10 hours west away from me!! I live at the foothills to the smokey mountians and yeah there is your basic stupid childish minor crime but it's FAR AWAY from the crime in Memphis..
We still have Hillbillys, KKK, and the white supremcey groups right here in E. TN that tend to ward of the welcome of the Crypts and the bloods!!
59* Today and sunny!
MERRY CHRISTMAS! :biggrin:
