I’ve lived in the St. Louis area off and on for 18 years, and have heard and seen a lot of news on crime in St. Louis. For years, I’ve heard on the news about St. Louis being ranked quite high for crime, for many years, often in the number 1 spot.
I’ve known friends who’ve been assaulted or their property or vehicle theft. It’s not new news that St. Louis has been in the national news for having some of the highest crime and murder rates. According to Fox 2 News, St. Louis ranked number 4 as a most dangerous city in 2021 based on a recent study on FBI crime reports.
Is crime rising? What are your thoughts?
