Your "source" links to a non-government website that provides no source for anything it is saying. It cites data that (if it is accurate at all) is 12 years out of date. It does not compare Newark to other cities, much less compare crime to other cities on a per capita basis. So your argument isn't supported by anything other than prejudice.

Crime stats have dramatically improved in Newark in recent years especially. It largely escaped the uptick in violent crime seen in other large cities. I live and work downtown and the notion that this is some kind of dystopian hellhole is just a lie. Newark has a lot of challenges but it is a great city and it is generally moving in the right direction.

You're entitled to your own opinion (even if based on prejudice), but you are not entitled to your own facts. I would encourage the OP to research the publicly available data, and not listen to bigots and haters.
