8. Newark, NJ
Most know this city in New Jersey as the carjack capital of the world and if you didn’t know that, well now you do. In addition to stealing cars, violent crime has risen over the past years. The population of Newark is less than 300,000 so having a murder rate over 100 (40 per 100,000) is high and makes the streets of many neighborhoods unsafe to walk. Of course you may suggest just driving, but now you see the problem. You are not safe driving due to the carjacking problem and now you can’t even walk without fear of being murdered. Travel tip: Staying in Newark when visiting New York City to save a few bucks isn’t worth it.
