Study Uncovers Mississippi’s Most Dangerous Places
Small Mississippi City Tops Assaults and Homicides
In a big study by RoadMunchies, they found out which places in Mississippi are most dangerous in 2024 and they looked at crime reports from the FBI for 32 cities. Mississippi is a bit higher than the national average for property crime and about the same for violent crime but none of its cities are in the top ten most dangerous in the whole country but surprisingly a small city with fewer than 15,000 Americans has the most assaults and homicides in the state, according to the posted news article of Southwest Journal. This shows that Mississippi still has areas where crime is a big problem. So it’s important for those places to get more jobs, better pay, and good programs to help stop crime from getting worse.
