### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Loyd and Antone should read more carefully
  

*by B***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2012*

Loyd seems to have missed Table 1.5, which supplies the data supporting Zimring's textual notation that LA had a remarkable post-2000 surge in rate of decline for major crimes, and also shows that LA's accomplishment still fell short of that for NYC in that SAME post-2000 interval.Antone, on the other hand, seems to have entirely missed the last section of Appendix C in which Zimring discusses the methods used to verify declines in homicide and other major crime rates in spite of the fact that police reports of crime may be flawed by inherent conflicts of interest.This is an immensely complex and extensively documented book.  Its central thesis, that brutally high crime rates are NOT a necessary feature of life in large urban centers in 21st century America, is very well documented.But be warned, this book's documentation and sophisticated statistical analyses are tough going.  It deserves, and repays careful, critical and repeated reading.  The novelty and hopeful character of its conclusions would warrant a steady climb in readership.

    A piece of good news in a world of hurt
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2013*

The book is chock-full of charts and diagrams, documentation and information.  The amazing thing is that the old easy-answers about what causes crime and what reduces are wrong.  The main thing is, we still don't know how New York did it for sure.  But an 80% drop in violent crime since 1990 -- with no appreciable change in demographics, or all those other variables too numerous to mention.  Putting people in jail for a longer time doesn't explain the drop either because New York didn't.I had to keep rereading and reviewing the book, though, because there's so much data I started to become a bobble-head.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

*by R***I on Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2013*

Franklin Zimring clearly does his research.  Throughout the reading of The CityThat Became Safe I was confident the information provided there-in was factual and that Zimring had verified it.  There seems to be a sense of passion in his work as he passes on to his readers the valueable information, he has gathered, that impacts an entire culture.  I look forward to reading more of his work as the opinions I form from reading his books will help to direct my thoughts as I enter the voting booth.Ralph Spinelli
