A Dangerous City?

By Dan

Oakland was ranked as the fourth most dangerous city in the United States on Sunday by a controversial but closely watched private-research group that publishes a list of the country's most dangerous cities annually, the Oakland Tribune reported Monday. Nearby Richmond came in at No. 9. Oakland jumped four spots, from No. 8 last year, in this year's "City Crime Rankings: Crime in Metropolitan America," which was published by CQ Press, a unit of Congressional Quarterly Inc. Detroit earned the dubious title of most dangerous city in America. It was followed by St. Louis and Flint, Mich. After Oakland, at No. 4., came Camden, N.J.; Birmingham, Ala.; North Charleston, S.C.; Memphis, Tenn.; Richmond; and Cleveland. Landing in the top 10 in the 2007 rankings, which were based on the Federal Bureau of Investigation's crime data for 2006, is not shocking for Oakland.
