Drug Use Wichita: Do Minnesota Criminal Records Prove It’s a Safer State Than California?

This season, on the CW network, a television series, called Beverly Hills 90210, began. In the series, a family from Wichita moves to Beverly Hills. Although the father grew up in California, the family finds that life in California is much different than life in Kansas. In the nineties, the original Beverly Hills 90210 was very popular. In that series, a family moved from Minneapolis to Beverly Hills. They also found that life was very different in each of the cities. In the show, life in California was very fast-paced compared to life in Minnesota. Teens were spoiled, able to charge thousands of dollars on their parents’ plastic. Underage drinking and drug use were among many of the problems that the show portrayed, along with shoplifting and other crimes. Was the show simply the fictional work of the writer, or were the episodes pulled from real life? How do Minnesota criminal records compare with those of California?

In 2007, Minnesota was the nineteenth safest state to live in, while California ranked forty-second. In 2006, the overall crime rate in Minnesota was seven percent lower than the national average, while the overall crime rate for California was one percent higher. In Minnesota, property crimes accounted for ninety-one percent of all crime committed – five percent lower than the national average. In California, the percentage of reported crimes involving property was eighty-five – two percent lower than the national average. That doesn’t indicate a big gap, but when it came to violent crime, there was a big difference. In Minnesota, nine percent of all reported crime was violent in nature – twenty-four percent lower than the national average. In California, fourteen percent of all crimes committed were violent in nature – twenty-three percent higher than the national average. That is a huge difference. Therefore, Minnesota criminal records show that the state is safer than California. However, that is a state to state comparison. What happens when you compare the two cities?

In 2006 – the same year – the murder rate for Minneapolis was 15.2, the murder rate for Beverly Hills was 0, and the murder rate for the nation was 7. Minneapolis’ robbery rate was 806.8, Beverly Hills’ robbery rate was 231.7, and the United States’ robbery rate was 205.8. The rate for aggravated assaults in Minneapolis was 755.7, the rate for aggravated assaults in Beverly Hills was 130, and the aggravated assault rate for the country was 336.5. Minneapolis’ burglary rate was 1552.3, Beverly Hills’ burglary rate was 771.3, and the United States’ burglary rate was 813.2. The rate for larceny thefts in Minneapolis was 3493.2, the rate for larceny thefts in Beverly Hills was 2059.7, and the rate for larceny thefts for the country was 2601.7. The vehicle theft rate for Minneapolis was 965.9, the vehicle theft rate for Beverly Hills was 155.4, and the vehicle theft rate for the country was 501.5. Minneapolis Minnesota criminal records show that the city not only had higher crime rates than those of Beverly Hills California, but they were also higher than the average crime rates for the nation. Minnesota as a whole may be safer than California as a whole, but Minneapolis is not safer. Teens may use their parents’ credit cards more in Beverly Hills than they do in Minneapolis, but when it comes to crime, far more takes place in Minneapolis than in Beverly Hills.
