Some rankings on St. Louis crime might be misleading. Why?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:15:09 GMT

ST. LOUIS - From time to time, you might notice various studies that name St. Louis among the least safest or most dangerous cities in the United States. A new blog from Jeff Asher, a New Orleans-based crime analyst, explains that these studies might lead to misconceptions about crime in certain cities, including St. Louis. Asher even went as far as to say "ignore it" when new studies ranking the safest or most dangerous US cities emerged.One of Asher's key arguments is that the methodology in ranking cities is often flawed. For instance, a "safest cities" study published in 2023 might use the latest FBI crime data available from 2021. Asher argues that crime could improve or get worse in certain cities in a matter of two years. He also cites an FBI advisory that warns of possible inconsistencies if using their data to rank jurisdictions.Asher further states that FBI crime data cited in these studies might be presented in ways consistent with "how city boundaries are drawn and how p...
