Mississippi Cities Addressing Crime with Job Growth and Rehabilitation. In a recent study by RoadMunchies, Mississippi’s most dangerous cities for 2024 have been unveiled based on crime data. Those with populations over 5,000 were scrutinized for violent and property crimes out of 32 cities analyzed. According to Southwest Journal, despite Mississippi hovering slightly above the national average for property crime and matching it for violent crime none of its cities made the top ten most dangerous in the entire country this year. Experts suggest that targeted improvements like job opportunities, higher wages and better rehabilitation programs could help mitigate these challenges in Mississippi’s most dangerous areas.
