"Bijlmermeer" (suburb of Amsterdam)
Full of junkies, poor people, crime etc etc. It's also the place where a El-Al cargo Jumbo hit an apartment building (pic)
But still a heaven compaired to any ghetto in the US. The worst place is shopping centre 'Kraaiennest'.

I live in a town of about 300,000 ppl, its an industrial town, so its more likely to have more poverty, the area's in Northampton are the whole of the East side of town is very rough, Blackthorn and Bellinge, are the worst, the other area towards the west side is Kings Heath. Its not like Compton or Watts where u get shot for no reason, theres the occasional murder, and quite a few stabbings, but if u walk along minding your own business you can very easily be approached by a gang who will give you a wee kicking. The area where I'm from in Northampton is quite bad in parts it always seems to have the murders aswell, its a working class area, and has a lot of Carribean immigrants, because the UK is quite small often gangsters who say do work in London or Birmingham live in towns near the cities, and theres quite a lot of Yardies in my area, a few months back they done a bust on a few houses to get some local Yardie who murdered two rival gangsters in London, they went through his house and it was like a mini armoury.
In the UK we don't really have guns career criminals and some people have them. I've worked with ppl from the States, and they said to me if guns were as available in the UK as they were in states the UK would easily have a worser murder rate for its population, the reasons the fact Uk is a rich country, its very very very poor aswell, plus a lot of the population in the UK can be very antisocial, and after a few beers instead of a punch up if they had pistols well you know the score.
Worse areas overall in the UK have to be Moss Side, Longsight, Cheatnam Hill, and Salford in Manchester. Its like 1920's ing Chicago in the UK, very very very high murder rate easily on par or higher then some American cities. London is very rich and a nice city but some areas in South London like Brixton, Peckham and Deptford are dodgy, it has like crime waves that die down, all due to gang wars basicially, so one week about 15 ppl can get gunned down dead the next week 2 its weird, but its not as bad as Manchester.
Northern Ireland. Well a lot of you know the score behind the troubles, and a lot of it ends up on the streets, Belfast and Derry all have dodgy areas,County Amagh too is notorous for shootings in some parts, even though theres a ceasefire and peace process (well going through a dodgy patch atm), theres still a lot of frequent shooting and beatings, say your police informer and your in protective custody, likely chances one of the groups once your exposed as a informer will find your family smash one of your family members kneecaps in with baseball bats or shoot their kneecaps, or shoot or blow up the whole family it depends on the team who doe's the job, theres a lot of history behind it and its not something money can solve. |

Richest state total:I would assume either California or Texas
Richest per capita:Once again, this is an assumption but I'd venture something small and ritzy like Connecticut.
Poorest:Mississippi and West Virigina would have to be there. So would Montana and Wyoming. The Dakotas as well I would guess. |

| There are some rough areas where I live (Nottingham, UK), not sure if any of the UKTAs saw the program about Nottingham crime the other week on BBC1 :p Showed stuff like this guy unconscious on the street in the middle of a residential area in the middle of the day because some drug dealers came and beat him tless over a drugs thing. That program didnt show the worst thing of all though, there's these two rival areas, both really rough, called St Anns and The Meadows, and basically, gangs from one place go into the other, kill some people and keep the score, like a football game. I know of one guy, called TJ, hes my age (16), and hes in jail for murder after he shot someone from St Anns and dumped their body in a canal :eek: They're pretty ed areas alright...... |

If you're ever in Sydney, don't go to Lakemba or Cabramatta... Lakemba is where people do drive-by shooting on police stations and 15 y/o girls get pack raped. Cabramatta is where all the Asian heroin trade is concentrated, people literally walk up to you on the street and say "you wanna score" and show u a knife .. so u have no choice, u hafta buy some drugs....
