Also if some of you wonder why some places are rated as having more crime even though they have less crime, its because the size of the town/city compared to another.

Lets say one town has 200 assaults and they have 70,000 people in it
compared to
another town that has 100 assaults and has 20,000 people in t

Well the town on the bottom is more dangerous even though they have less crime then the other town, because you are more likely to get a crime committed to you. Basically if you have alot of people in a town then that is why you have more crime, but if you are a smaller town and have alot of crime for a small town thats not good because then you are more likely to be a victim in that town being your chances of being one of those people are lower than another town with 20,000 more people who would take your place and increase your chances of not having it happen to you.

That's called "crime per capita", and generally how crime statistics are rated.

Also, the Pine Bluff Arsenal is conveniently located here, the only place in the northern hemisphere that manufactures white phosphorous munitions and is packed with chemical weapons. If anything went awry there, it would probably destroy most of Pine Bluff and a lot of the other surrounding towns.

So, basically, a real safe place to be.
