Categories: North America

On Monday, the FBI released its annual crime statistics for the United States. This year, Chicago, Illinois, was the most dangerous city, surpassing even the country's largest metropolitan area, New York, in terms of the number of murders. Moreover, unlike the Big Apple, the crime rate is growing here. The police attribute this to the redistribution of spheres of influence between African Americans and Hispanics in poor neighborhoods located on the outskirts of the metropolis. In this issue, you will find out where else in America it is not so safe to walk the streets.

The city, primarily known for its Prohibition-era mafia, is still troubled today: in 2012, 500 murders were committed here, with a population of 2.7 million people. By the way, Chicago is a twin city of Moscow. No hints, just an interesting fact.
