Ummmm I am pretty sure the villages are on the top of the list in the whole USA as for crimes per capita. I think they are number one in incest, rape, domestic violence, alcohol abuse, child abuse, spouse abuse and a few  others. Its almost a cultural thing it seems as its been going on for years and years. 
 Whatever anyone has been doing is obviously not working......at all. You can say what you want but the statistics prove it. Not to say anything is really working anywhere for that matter and now due to costs we are letting more and more criminals free to roam with the good law abiding citizens. How come countries with strict and harsh penalties for committing a crime have low crime rates?So many people now look at people who make the choice to be criminals as victims. Another reason to legally carry a firearm.
