    I think that the United States is a country very large and rich with a big population of people, by it, many offenders that live in it search good places for steal, they take advantage of people with much money that live in these cities for make murders and crimes. The insecurity is rising day after day and people have fear to leave their houses to work, walk or other. Thousands of people had been victims of crime and want more safety in the streets. Adults and children need to look after for the police not only at night but also day.

    From I see from the news, anybody has access to buy weapons and this helps to increase the rates of violence. Anybody can go to a store an buy all the guns they want without any restrictions.
    I also think that a lot of people that had lost their jobs from the bad economy may commit crimes to support their families.
    The goverment needs to improve the economy and put gun restrictions to reduce the violence in these cities.

    We usually think that The United States are a singular country where we can find the progress and a decent life,that is the idea that movies and media had sold us but the reality is different, United States is a nation that had worried more about its presence and participation in other countries than itself. It had implanted a system based on an extreme liberty that borders in anarchy and the consecuences are obvious: the crimes, the violence, the lost of the integrity of the families and social and moral decadence.

    2. Hi, my name is Andres Sebastian Sanchez Antia and I belong to Cycle IV. In my opinion, although the article does not have enough informatition about other kind of dangerous situations like robberies, it is terrible because the most important point is obviously the number of murders depending of the population of each city, it shows really high statistics in all of those cities; then in cities for example like Miami or Las Vegas where many touristic people arrive, this should be secure for all these people. Finally, I think that the people who want to travel to these places should be noticed of this before, in that way they could think better before do it, and of course the police of USA has take into account put more security in those cities.

    I believe that the united states is a country big, full of opportunities to all world, also is a potency world. this call the atention in all people as a opportunity of live and they travel to this country. Generating needs in many of these people by overpopulation. In all world crimes are seen as the easy availability of weapons are easy, making people are less tolerant. Insecurity is viewed from the worst countries even in the best countries. The solution to this will be new laws that forbid the carrying of arms ol radiquen it altogether. Thanks for your attention.

  6. Hi, My name is Daniel Gutierrez R.
    The violence that is taking place in us long ago is because of groups or pandillas that this provides that offenses are easier to make and execute this thanks to the rules established by that country which does not prohibit weapons but with a simple study was determined not to be a danger, with this you can see the consequences of mandates and laws. The problematic of insecurity is not only us but also worldwide, which is more plagued by this problematic that every day is more and more common in the cities.

  7. Hi, I'm Juliana Castillo

    Well, I think I was a little surprise because, in the list, are cities that you don't expect to see there, because all the good fame it has, for example Las Vegas, It's a big city with a million of tourist per year. But, of course, the fact that the city it's, "famuos", Not necessarily mean that there is no violence in the city. But anyway, I think that unfortunately these times violence it's everywhere, and that we have to do something about it, because violence don't bring us nothing good, it just made the thing more difficult for a lot of people.
    I also think it's sad that cities with a lot of fame and the biggest ones, have that kind of problems, because those are cities with more chances or opportunities to make a real change.

    Thank you :D

    i think that nobody is exempt to be hurt,else is very horrible know that the damage is induced by the same man and that is so sad; rightly the bible says that the man has dominated to the man for his injury, however this will change because in the bible in the psalm 37:10,11 promise the just in a little more of time the bad people will disappear and the righteous will have the earth and we could be completely sure of this because Titus 1:2 says that God cant lie. so meanwhile we shouldn't go to life in that ten cities, although every place in the world is dangerous if in Colombia make a studio lie this every city would fight for be the first.

    My name is Juliana Castro;

    The violence, in all its forms, is part of the human nature. In every place, no matter time, space, conditions or culture, people are violent, it's inside us, it's inevitable. But the diference lies on the good feelings whom we have been brig up. Sadly, too much people weren't too lucky like many of us.
    Now, United States is a country with a short story, like ours, but they have been blind about the violence and war; so we can see that in every war around the world United States is present, besides, all that incredibly power they have around the world makes them forget that his own people in alone, without love, family, a good edtucation and more; they forget the most important thing in people is not their possessions or their aptitude for a kind of 'war behavior', but but their own sense of appropriation to what they love and what they want to themselves, I mean, their families, their education, a good moral... That, I believe, is very very important for us like human beings, to love and value others human beings. However, that's not only United States' case, that happens in all countries in the whole world, where the people live together.

    Thank you!

    Have a good day

    the problematic in the united states is very important in the world because many countries in special the countries of '' third world'' take the example of developed countries as United states.

    the insecurity in this place is very critical because the crimes are increased and the people doesn't go out of these homes. in the places were exist insecurity are some but this is extending in every country.

    the united states is a beautiful country but the insecurity is finishing with them. this problem doesnt is of the persons, this problem is of who educates this people.

    I think that violence in the United States and in cities like this, is due to the easy access to weapons and the lack of social organization and study in these cities, also influences the lack of opportunities for low-income people, then these people choose a road like violence.

    -Created the Rock
    FREEDOM-instituted expressed the essence of Democracy.
    -Was the FIRST democracy in the world
    -It was the first nuclear superpower
    -It is an example of prosperity and abundance
    -Both to the left a little paranoid
    -They think the heads of all
    -In its mixture and diversity have emerged as weighted the great enemies of mankind: hate groups, racial groups, the ideas of supremacy, gangs, serial murderers, cults suicidal / homicidal, most ignorant economic elites that ever existed in history, etc. ..

    This list is quite interesting but not surprising, the United States is the most dangerous place in the world, apart from Middle Eastern of course, the ease of getting a gun in every corner has to affect so badly the security and the population of the people in there, in the news every week there is a person firing indiscriminately killing a lot of people and then committing suicide, but this only happen in the USA, you never heard news about a british guy shooting someone and killing himself, at least not so frequently as in the EEUU. There will always be people willing to kill others for revenge, for money, etc. It's a shame that the police can not do much to stop them!
    Any way, lets hope the government create a plan to sensitize people about the crimes and its serious consequences!

  34. I think that all this cities of United States that are dangerous had suffer severed consequences of the gun control law. United States it´s a country were it´s very easy to buy guns and there are a lot of cultural problems that makes people want to protect themselves and their families.
    After september 11, people are afraid even of their own shadows and that is why they feel the necessity to have something to protect themselves, from all the foreigners and specially the arabs. I think that if they would create a law that prohibits people to have guns, this cities will not have all the problems that they have now.

    I think in America there high rates of dangerous cities, considering that a high crime rate according to the population is presented. This is due to the global economic crisis, drug trafficking, and the loss of family values, where each on his eagerness to get money they forget teens, helps neighbor, is another factor affecting consumerism influence thinking citizen where to get what you want is passing over others.

I believe this is because U.S. is one of the main consumers of drugs, if this is not controlled hardly homicide rates will fall.

    I think in the US as in every country in the world, the felonies and violence strike in the most populous cities and the biggest metropolitan areas, we suffer the same problem here in Colombia, but we include the guerrillas and the illegal groups to the charts, and that increase the numbers of murders and felonies.
    And if the country is bigger, those numbers can increase proportionally, if the government doesn’t have a good security program or if the country is suffering of other factors that can make the towns and big cities more dangerous for the population.

That makes me see that bad people are all over the world. Maybe Colombia is not a better country, or who knows, maybe it is, there is no excuse for that, but the people who make that kind of things, is because they do it for need or for revenge or because they are crazy. The point is that a country is noticed or made by the people that live there.

  50. Hi, I’m Nicolas Lozano from C6A.

    I was just reading it, and noticed that all countries have political, cultural, economic, or in this case, social problems. Two things, the first one, is related to the guns there. You can go walking through the street and watch somebody with a gun and it’s normal because they can get permissions to take them. In my opinión that is no good. The second thing is that you never know who are you talking to, who are you being with and who are you working with. Sometimes, people can lie and say they are normal and faithfull to work. But then, they are runing out of the country because they did something wrong and pilotean are purchasing them. Every country has weaknesses.

  51. Hello,

    I think this world is full of insecurities, therefore if a country has many people living together is more difficult the coexistence. Large countries like United States should have high security standards to prevent these crimes and provide security to citizens; today it is very difficult to trust in the people that around us, morals values have changed and not respected each other, it serves as teaching that we should care, in this world there are good and bad people and we dont know.

    Violence is an inhuman factor daily lives in the world, there are unscrupulous people who want to harm others, this is done because it seems fun or for some financial need. Violence is the main problem facing humanity.

  55. Good morning,my name is Juan Felipe Rico from the cycle 6 and this is my opinion:
    Cause we all know, United States is one of the biggest countries of all the world and there is a lot of people, different cultures and foreigns.There are a lot of reasons the murders can happen, they can be all about money, maybe drug dealers, sometimes other countries send people to kill north americans, or like in the thug neighborhoods where the black people have internal fights between dangerous groups. The murders are very difficult to control, and even in a giant country. In my opinion I think United States have a good security control, I can´t say they don´t rob, kill, kidnap, but what I can say is that they don´t have groups like FARC in Colombia, that scares the people.

  56. Nicolas Higuera C6A1. The problem with America or USA whatever you want to call it, is that goverment and some places sell guns to any citizen and its totally legal, this cause that in the wrong hands could increase violence in some of these cities. Another factor is that there are some serious problems among races, like black or latino people that the police does not concern about, nstead of solving these problems they increased them and finally I think that maybe crime organizations are too powerful in these cities and they can not be control or low theyre spawn because of what they are, so to police and other forces is too risky and dangerous to combat against them.

    1. Well, you know, some politicians have tried to forbid guns or restrict their use, but there is a large part of the population that just don't want that to happen, they believe they have the right to carry guns. Now, regarding police officers, well their problem as you say, seems to be racism and the fact that they neglect their duty (of course just some of them); I really don't know, but I'm sure that if they really wanted to reduce crime they could have done something already.

  57. Good afternoon, all place in the world can be dangerous, it depends on us analyze the sector or place where we are and take the necesary precautions, to be alert for imminet danger, example: not talk on phone in the stree, not talk to strangers, have emergency numbers speed dial, call the polici when he saw something suspicios, the idea is not give opportunities to crime, and is importan to statians state, make educational conciliatory measures in the school or Universitys, after all the problems born in the few values, we make a better world, with small actions.

  58. Hello everybody,
    In my opnion, there's insecurity everywhere, one of the reasons of american crime could be the easy access to guns because they're sold with ease, and perhaps there's so many people with bad intentions buying them, in these 10 cities theres a population of about more than 1'000.000. There are too many people in the Usa that comes from all over the world , and because of that there are so many different ways of thinking, cultures, mores, and not everyone is able to accept the others, and respect the difference, so this could affect the crime rate and icrease it.

      It is true that some people, in certain circumstances, lack the ability to resolve conflicts without resoting to violence, especially in contexts full of diversity but socially depressed. In addition, the ease with which people get guns in America, does not make the problems any lighter.

    In All countries exist dangerous places, United States is not an exception, I think that surely in USA there are many cities more safe that the ten mentioned in the list, but always will have crimes.

    The information is very interesting because, people tend to believe that United States is extremely safe and it is not like that.

  60. Hello, my name is Laura Barrera, C6A
    I think that the main cause of violence in the United States is how poor the control of weapons sale is, a gun is accessible to almost anyone in this country and it will not always be used in self-defense but to cause damage to others.
    I also think that the world has a very positive vision of this country, which like other have problems like violence.
    Of course this does not take away the country good image and all the resources, opportunities and good things it have. We can find bad people who just want to do harm to others all around the world.

  61. Good afternoon. My name is Natalia Mila. C4.
    The United States are known for promoting in their citizens the personal use of weapons. At news, we can see how easy is for American people to buy a gun, and who can't do it from legality, receives the aid of darkness sites to get it; this practice permits that everyone carries a gun, for using in self-defense, for crime, or taking justice into their own hands.
    Also, the problem of a corrupted society where the unbridled consumerism, the high unemployment, the high taxes and the growing resurgence of the racism, and a marked difference between poor and rich people, are the enabling environment for increasing the violence in the country; Added to immigration problem, because it doesn't matter if immigrants are legal or not. The most important thing is to know what is that people's intention to arrive to U.S.A.: It's only for working or studying?, It´s to make real the "American dream"? or.... what does the immigrant think to do?
    There are so many questions and so much deep problems to solve for a big country that receives day by day millions of visitants from arround the world and its population grows up every day.

    the violence is found in all parts, and in all forms that exist.
    one of the problems more big in the united states is the sale of arms, the racism and the lack of justice.

    in the united states the cities are big as the vegas or orlando, florida. in this cities the violence is very big thanks to his attractions for the turists.

    also the people is very indifferent and intolerant, if occurs a stole the people not react because they prefer not intervene

  63. For many it results difficult to think that a country like United States, can have security problems; however, he has them.

    Unfortunately, There are cities with high index of crime.

    I think that unlove, care and instruction, for youths and kids, are causing it.

    People grow feeling hate to other and themself. For they, aren't important the beginnings and the values. The human quality is coming down. The tecnology has frozen the affection relationships.

    A country without love, is a country with a lot of problems.

    I think that violence is a theme present in all countries but in Americas and in different states of USA is very often because programs tv mixed with the internet and similarly free trade of weapons where even the less apt you can purchase a weapon with a simple procedure despite all federal declared unto the world. but not only due to this there are also concepts of religion, race and economic level where selfishness is promoted greed to make money and live well surrounded by fame, riches and many luxuries that ends with the competition

    Washington has been achieved resounding success in making small and portailes weapons, citizens have won the right without limits or restrictions on carrying weapons as a protection mechanism, this means that US citizen may possess weapons freely.
    This situations results in the fact that there are almost as many guns in private hands in the US as the country has inhabitants.
    Such a circumstance creates certain aggressiveness in people who have decided to resolve their differences through the use of weapons and not dialogue, therefore the ease with which a person can buy a weapon, makes criminals can get a gun o handgun and with that perform
    in muggings and murders to profit from the goods of others.
    Given is, we must keep fighting for the world to disarm
    and love reigns and please.

Although the United States is the country of opportunities, because of its rate of diverse jobs and amazing experiences, it is a country where the crimes are part of everyday living, lifes are numbers, and the gun's freedom opaque the beauty of a dominating state thanks to the globalization, neoliberalism and the avarice induced by the capitalism.

To me it is no surprise seeing Detroit as the first one, given the fact that even though it used to be a very proficient city in trading and the famous "Motor City", Detroid fell off the curve and became a "ghost town" and the biggest U.S.A city to declare bankruptcy, then we see cities like Las Vegas or Orlando, where the hig crime ratios are mostly because they are very hig touristic points of interest, and arround the world the more foreginers that come into a city the more the local thugs take the bite of the visitors, and then we have the "lesser cities" in the list that are in there because they have considerably hig murder ratios for the relative low population

    The United States is one country of the first world as an example of development and social evolution, something that make it seems like a perfect country but, it´s not as well they have their mistakes and a criminal side as every country, we can look on that report that the percentage of crimes is high by the amount of people in each city and as we can define is that the ranking is according to de level of crimes by one hundred thousand people of that city.
    In my opinion is usual that there were crimes but, the government should do a plan to improve the security and reduce the amount of crimes.

  75. Detroit: this used to be the home of the car makers in the US, with the advance of globalization the jobs were outsourced and people were suddenly without income. That helped a lot to the current state of criminality.

    Menphis: Although they have a high criminality, they are lowering their stats every single year due to their investments in social programs.

    Miami: Was for many years the home of colombian and other latin american drug cartels. Besides that, there are many inmigrants from spanish speaking countries who are looking for asylum. Many are gang members. This influx during decades has helped to increase those crimes.

    Las Vegas: This city has been a gangsters hole since its creations, Many mafias, being the most famous the italians, have used this place for all kinds of ilegal business. There is no surprise they have so much criminality.

    Stockton: California is a majority of minorities. There are many racial tensions in california because many different groups of people with different backgrounds are disputing the same space.

    Orlando: There are tourist from all over the world because of Disney Parks. Many resources of the economy are dedicated to the tourism sector, because of this the suburbs lack some things that makes them more vulnerable.

    Little Rock: Arkansas is in the middle of the US. Most of the population is concentrated in the coasts, many issues of the average US citizen in this part of the world are not taken into account by the central goverment. Outsourcing of jobs has hited this territories very hard. Thats why they supported populism in the last elections.

    Charleston: People had always been kind of aggresive. This was a really important city in the Independence War. I guess they still have that belic instinct in their veins.

    Nashville: The southern states are under lots of pressure. The racial tensions between blacks and whites are higher than ever. Additionally, the influx of new people, mainly brown hispanics, is unbalancing an already dangerous situation.

    Baltimore: lots of unemployment, gangs and many restrictions for regular citizens to have guns have created a timebomb in there.

  76. United States has been a city very touristic, if you want to visit that country you have to think in all the dangers regardless of which city you are. I have an aunt there, she lives in California and sometimes she call me and she says how is her life far to Colombia and the differences between our country and north america. She has told me about violence and how similar it can be to live in a Latin American country and where she is living. I believe that the government of the United States should increase security and police forces, not only for its inhabitants, but also for tourists, because the places mentioned are supplied economically by foreigners who visit them.

  81. My opinion is that the cities of the United States are overpopulated which is affecting the different states, in terms of crime and homicides; This is due to the laws that currently govern the United States, which has allowed an absurd freedom in terms of drugs, carrying weapons, lack of police action and racial discrimination by the national government. It is also due to emigrants from other countries who fight for a job opportunity in the so-called American dream, where many do not manage to do so and end up committing these crimes of criminality and thus a high rate of people.
