Detroit still second most dangerous city

Detroit still second most dangerous city - 10/30/06 - The Detroit News Online:

"Detroit has finished second to St. Louis again.

But this is a title no city wants: According to an analysis of 2005 crime statistics released today, St. Louis is America's most-dangerous city with a population of more than 75,000, and Detroit ranks second, as it was the year before. Flint is third on the new list.

Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's office wasn't surprised by the rankings.

'The statistics aren't secrets to the city of Detroit or Mayor Kilpatrick. He understands the challenges we face as the 11th-largest city in the U.S.,' said Matt Allen, Kilpatrick's press secretary."
