MISSISSIPPI (Press Release) — The SafeWise Report released its “10 Safest Cities in Mississippi” report this week.
To compile this report, SafeWise used the most recent FBI crime data from 2012 to analyze and rank these cities, which all have a minimum population of 2,000 people.
SafeWise looks at crimes from part 1 of the FBI Unified Crime Report (UCR) reported crime data, which focuses on violent crimes (aggravated assault, forcible rape, murder, and robbery) as well as property crimes (arson, burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft). From there, SafeWise calculates the chances of these crimes happening out of a thousand in order to level the playing field for cities of varying populations. From all the cities in Mississippi, SafeWise narrowed the list down to 10 and assigned rankings according to data provided by the FBI’s UCR report.
“These cities all share a strong commitment to keeping their residents and visitors safe,” SafeWise security analyst Alexia Chianis said. “The cities on our list boast community involvement and innovative safety programs and we are impressed with the work they’re doing to ward off criminal behavior.”
