Great News New Yorkers! New York City Named Safest Big City

Accoring to an Associated Press analysis of FBI statistics, New York City has been named the safest big city in 2005! The city reported one crime for every 37 residents. The annual report"shows that our innovative efforts to reduce crime and increase New Yorkers'quality of life are working,"Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in a statement Monday after the agency released the figures. The number of reported crimes in New York fell 4.3% last year, and the national number fell 1.2%

Dallas, Texas was the large city with the highest crime rate, with one crime for about every 12 people. As far as safe large cities go, San Jose came in at no. 2 on the list, followed by Los Angeles at no. 3 with one crime for every 26 people. Rounding out the top 5 are San Diego at no. 4, and Chicaho at no. 5.

It's safe to say that big cities are becoming safer each year.
