随着暴力伤害事件的频发,留学安全也日益受到关注,很多家长和学生甚至把校园安全作为了选择学校的重要考虑因素。美国安全调查权威网站Safewise在过去的三年里,调查了超过15000名美国人——来自每个州的至少300人,以了解他们对安全和犯罪的看法和态度。Safewise使用这些数据来发现人们如何看待安全和危险的趋势,以及受访者经历过的不同类型犯罪。他们还将安全和危险感与我们最安全城市报告中的犯罪统计数据现实进行了比较,以此来比较大家的感觉和实际情况的差异。
基于这些调查,近日发布了《 2021年美国安全报告》,让我们看看哪些城市比较安全,又有哪些城市相对危险,为安全留学做好十足准备。
以整个州为考察对象,发现全美居民最具安全感的十个州分别是:怀俄明州,新罕布什尔州,佛蒙特州,缅因州,爱达荷州,北达科他州,南达科塔州,内布拉斯加州,蒙大拿州和犹他州。居民感觉最危险的十个州是:路易斯安那州,新墨西哥州,内华达州,华盛顿州,加利福尼亚州,纽约州,俄勒冈州,伊利诺伊州,亚拉巴马州和马里兰州。
在隆重介绍大学城的安全型排名之前,先简单介绍这个排名的计算方法。进入榜单的前提是这些城市的人口必须超过1.5万,并拥有至少一所可提供四年制学位的大学。排名基于每千名居民中暴力犯罪和财产犯罪的比率。榜单使用了联邦调查局最新的犯罪统计数据,其中包括2019年各城市报告的犯罪和人口数据。
根据这份榜单, 发现了一些有趣的趋势: 马萨诸塞州在安全名单上拥有最多的大学城,有 10 个城镇。加州以 6 个大学城居于第二位。伊利诺伊州 5 个,康涅狄格州 4 个。 新泽西州麦迪逊在我们的榜单上排名第三,是费尔利狄金森大学(弗洛勒姆校区)的所在地。该镇因仅报告了一起暴力事件而引人注目。 在 10 个最危险的大学城中,平均暴力犯罪率为每 1,000 人 16.0 起。这比 50 个最安全的大学城的平均暴力犯罪率高出 16 倍。 50 个最安全的大学城的财产犯罪率较低,平均为每 1,000 人 8.2 起。 10 个最危险的大学城的平均财产犯罪率高出近 8 倍,达到每千人 62.8 起。 为安全而付费:前 50 名最安全的大学城中最大的学校的州内学费平均为 27,061 美元。外州学生的平均学费为 32,428 美元。
