Hardest city in Cali?

[TeeRaySix9Teen]

lol@ people thinkin every hood in LA is that off the chain. Im in San Diego, and i been in and outta damn near every hood in LA. Long Beach, Lynnwood, Compton, Inglewood, South Central...and on...and on. I got peoples in a lotta hoods up there from Long Beach to South Central, and it aint all bad like yall say. Some hoods are real shit, but some are just hype. Long Beach, aint that bad (yes, even the parts Snoop raps about lol). Theres far worse hoods in Dago then Long Beach. Inglewood aint that bad, just looks kinds grimey in some parts. Compton aint as bad as people think, but back in the day...yeah, the shit was bad and it still aint all that good. Watts (like someone else said), is real bad. I can say this though, i aint been in a lotta the Mexican hoods so i cant speak on those. Put it like this, like Mitchy says..."No matter which city in Kali....its all tha same....". Btw, the highest murder rates outta major cities in Kali usually do come outta Oakland. And last time i checked tha shit Richmond got an even worse crime index then them.

niggas out in richmond got it bad. a 12 y/o kid was murdered outside of a liquor store from some niggas that was bored and chillen and thats an everyday occurance now.

yeah i heard tha shit is REAL triv up there. Thing is, that gang shit is much bigger down here then up there. A killing is a killing up there. But down here, muhafuckas know you shoot somebody...you gettin into somethin real major. You might be startin an all out gang feud that aint goan be good. Its not just some individual get back type shit, its muhafuckas dumpin on eachother left n right.

according to statistics Compton is by far the worst city out of those mentioned. Comtpon has the second highest crime rate in America and i think Akron has the highest.

Only like 1% of the rappers we love still lives in a ghetto, so..? Most of them got millions, some got a good amount of money, none of them gangbangs. Maybe just 2 or 3..

"RICHMOND -- Richmond is the 12th most dangerous city in the country - and the most dangerous in the state - according to a report released last week.


In its annual rankings based on FBI crime statistics and population figures, the research firm Morgan Quitno ranked Richmond above cities like Compton, Calif., Miami and Cleveland. Richmond, listed as the eighth most dangerous city with a population between 100,000 and 499,999, was ranked 24th last year.

Morgan Quitno used the number of serious crimes per 100,000 residents in 2003 to rank 320 cities. Camden, N.J., was the most dangerous, while Newton, Mass., was the safest. California cities accounted for four of the 25 most dangerous spots.

Overall crime inched up in Richmond last year, but murder numbers rose by more than 30 percent and rape was up nearly 50 percent, police department statistics show. Crime is down slightly this year, statistics show.

City officials, many of whom found out about the report over the Thanksgiving weekend, said they weren't sure how they would combat the city's crime rate.

"We're going to try to do something about it," said Councilman Richard L. Griffin. "We have to do something about it. What we're going to do, I'm not so sure."

Griffin added that "when you're responsible for a city and it's high on that list, obviously it's a surprise."
In the past two years, the police department has shrunk from 203 officers to 139 thanks to budget cuts that have restricted hiring new cops to replace those who retire. With a handful of cops expected to hand in their retirement papers by the end of this year, the force will be even more depleted in the coming months, police officials said.

"This town lacks the resources to help the people who really want the help," said Police Officer Kevin Martin, an 18-year veteran of the police department who has patrolled the crime-ridden Iron Triangle neighborhood for most of his career.

Griffin said the city may have no choice but to restore positions on the police department, but said, "it takes more than just the police to fix this problem."

"It's also social ills, like poverty and unemployment," he said.

According to the latest census figures, 16.2 percent of Richmond's residents live below the poverty level, a number that is more than twice the Bay Area average. The city's median household income is $46,659, while the regional median is over $70,000.

Beyond the economic factors, Richmond falls short when it comes to community involvement in the policing effort, said Dr. Jeff Snipes, a professor of criminal justice at San Francisco State University who has studied Bay Area crime trends for nearly a decade.

"Even in areas where the poverty rate is high you can have a community that has a high level of social control, a community that sticks up for itself with groups that look out for each other," Snipes said. "In Richmond, there's not a lot of community integration. It seems like there's a lot of detachment there."

The dire budgetary situation in Richmond has led to the closure of many community centers, including a facility in the Iron Triangle where the neighborhood association met each month. Without those kinds of groups, there "isn't a lot of community cohesion," Snipes said, and that leads to criminals who practice their trade without fearing their neighbors will turn them in.

"What you see is for the most part, the people are real honest to goodness victims," Martin said"

South Central is the Hardest come to the 90044 zip code area and find out why or just cruise thru 53 and compton(the street not city)and see whats hood

Compton is L.A. basically, so consider it that
and consider that L.A. is the gang capital of the world, so obviously there is a ton of crime in Los Angeles more than others but there are a ton of crazy ghettos throughout California
