Way less crime because of way less people.

The crime rate, which takes the number of people into account, is also low, not just the raw crime numbers.

For now, I know of several people moving here but yeah I definitely won’t deny that.

Edit:sounds weird not saying people are moving here to commit crimes

RI could not support the population that would balance the crime out.

So are you saying more people would lead to less crime or more balanced or?

What I’m saying is the amount of crime is relative to the size of the population in the state. Watching the news doesn’t help either. Feel good stories don’t keep people glued to the television, which in turn, doesn’t make for good advertising sales. The amount of violent crime is relative to wherever you live. It’s the fires, floods, abductions, murders, drug deaths, political b.s. that people tune in for. It’s also a way the media manipulates us and keeps us divided.
