ALBANY, Ga. -- In 1988 the Cosby Show was tops on TV, Rain Man was setting records at the box office and Albany became known as the murder capital of the U.S.
#More accurately, Albany had a higher percentage of murders per capita than any other city in the country. Its 24.1 murders per 100,000 people topped even the percentage of New York City who came in at 22.7 per 100,000 in 1988.
#That year 29 people where killed -- a high water mark that earned the city its dubious nom de plume and cemented the perception held by many in Southwest Georgia, the state and beyond that Albany is unsafe place to live.
#It's a perception that, 24 years later, still grips the community -- rightly so when one looks at the majority of violent crime categories like robbery and aggravated assaults.

Is crime higher in capitalist countries?
Of course it is. Do a simple statistical analysis of the instances of normative 'crimes', such as burglary, theft and assault in nations with strong centralized, regulated markets and nations with laissez-faire libertarianist market policies and the conclusion should be quickly apparentAnswerNot necessarily. Capitalist countries just have better systems for compiling and reporting statistics. The statistics reported by capitalist countries are more reliable because they're normally reported by both government and independent agencies. For example, totalitarian governments tend to report statistics based on politics rather than facts; countries with ongoing unrest or war may not report crime at all when murder, robbery, or rape are a way of life and may go unchecked or may be government sanctioned. Another element that can affect reporting crime from country to country, is what is considered a crime in one country, may not be in another. Capitalist countries tend to have much higher standards for passing laws and punishments for acts against citizens. Capitalist countries also use more resources and technologies for detecting crime, apprehending criminals, and prosecuting crime.Monaco and Dubai are examples of very capitalist countries (don't bother to come if you don't plan to spend a lot of money), yet have very low crime rates.
