Japanese want to know where the safest and most dangerous places to live in America are.

Moreso, than other countries do…at least this has been my experience.

Japan is a relatively safe place to live and the good people of Japan, or is it their parents, don't want their kids studying overseas in an area where they might not come home from, be murdered, raped, thieved, assaulted…that sort of thing.

USA Today put out a complete list of the cities that are reporting crimes.
