13. Karachi, Pakistan – Most Dangerous Metropolis
Via www.dawn.com
Karachi is the provincial capital of Sindh, Pakistan’s largest city, and the second most populous city in the world. It is also regarded as one of the most dangerous places to go should you ever decide to visit Pakistan.
Karachi is rife with political instability and hostile conflicts between foreign and indigenous terrorist groups. Alongside the pretty tourist spots and the beaches, you can also expect robberies, kidnappings, terrorism, assassinations, and murder on a daily basis. Per the most recent stats, Karachi had a homicide rate of 12.3 people per 100,000 inhabitants, although crime has decreased recently in 2015.
Still, this puts Karachi as far and away the most dangerous mega-city in the world and it remains one capital city you might want to consider skipping in your travels.
12. Detroit, USA – America’s Most Dangerous City
In 1987, Robocop depicted a futuristic Detroit as a bankrupted city that’s overrun by crime and a severe lack of law enforcement to maintain the peace. Aside from humanoid cyborgs and robots, the producers probably didn’t expect that their futuristic depiction of Detroit would turn out to be so eerily accurate.
Named America’s most dangerous city in 2013 and 2014 (despite a decrease in crime), Detroit is definitely not a place you want to visit. With a population of nearly 700,000, Detroit has a staggering violent crime rate of 2,072 per 100,000 inhabitants and a murder rate of 45 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants. With 38.1 per cent of the population living below the poverty line, it’s easy (and sad) to see why Detroit has such a shady reputation.
Seeing how bad crime has become in the city, maybe a humanoid law-enforcement cyborg is what Detroit actually needs.
