Is there a lot of crime in philadelphia? |
Travel Info Is there a lot of crime in philadelphia? Travel Tips Define "alot?" Philadelphia is the 6th lastgest city in the USA. It's not exactly Wyoming.... Murder while newworthy is mostly a drug realated/ domestic violence thing. Unless you hang out with that crowd? As for other crime? It varies. The police stats by district can be found at http://www.ppdonline.org. The BIG problem here is DRUGS. Phila is a major east coast drug center. Herion, weed, Meth, Coke, are shipped thru, made, sold, or distrubted to smaller towns from Phila. The 'burbs may look quiet? But they are filled with addicts who drive to Phila to get high. The Phila Weekly even has a article on the top 10 drug corners. http://www. philadelphiaweekly.com Where there are drugs, crime is sure to follow..... Others Might be. yes My understanding is that next to the tourist area crime is terrible and that Philadelphia is not currently a very well run city. yes...mostly contained in certain areas, especially when it comes to violent crimes. Petty things, like broken car windows for some change happens all over the city though. DG....you're a tool. There are a lot of murders. We are already over 100 and had over 400 last year. Probably no more or less than in a comparable large city. ======== I have to laugh whenever I hear about crime in Philadelphia. Years ago, when the baseball staduim was in the city, you'd park wherever you found a space. And sure, enough, a little kid would come out of nowhere and say" watch your car for a quarter, mister." I understood these kids were just trying to hustle some pocket change,, so, I told them if you do a real good job, I'll pay you 50 cents. I never had a problem, but if you say"no" big brother who alreay has three convictions for auto theft will come and pay your car a visit. - Connie Mack Stadium, 21st & Lehigh. |
