conservative cities like Jacksonville, Florida; Tulsa, Oklahoma; and Miami also experience high crime rates.

In Tulsa, Oklahoma, a Republican-led city, "basic needs not being met" is helping to fuel crime, according to Dr. Tiffany Crutcher, the executive director of the Terence Crutcher Foundation.

The ten worst states for violent crimes are:

Alaska ………….…… RED

New Mexico …………… BLUE

Tennessee ………… RED

Arkansas …..……… RED

Nevada ……….…… RED

Louisiana ….……… RED

Alabama ……..…… RED

Missouri ……..…… RED

S. Carolina ………. RED

Arizona ……….…… RED

While cities like Chicago and Philadelphia indeed have higher crime rates than other cities, places like New York City or Los Angeles, frequently cast as crime-ridden by Republicans, have crime rates on par or lower than many cities led by Republicans
