Homicide rates by state/province

Many parents are concerned about safety at colleges. City stats would be more meaningful of course but this gives a rough idea of the variations around North America.

This map shows that Quebec and New Hampshire are the safest, Louisiana is the most dangerous. The colors chosen are not the most logical in my opinion. Click to enlarge.

Crime is local. By state is not local enough to be valid.

NH has permitless constitutional carry for handguns.

Looking at many of the other states that have the same, I’m not sure that’s the main factor determining New Hampshire’s relative degree of safety.

I never said it was a factor contributing to safety, I’m actually pointing out the opposite. In spite of permitless carry, NH is very safe. That runs counter to what we’re led to believe.

Got it. I misinterpreted your comment.
