Sorry, but this thread *IS* very much DR related. The DR is part of the world, and the ranking of the world's most dangerous cities applies to the DR. The fact that NO DR city made the list does NOT make the list irrelevant.... It is indeed relevant that no DR city is on that list.
The OP made that point explicitly.
Lots of posters here like to dump on the DR about all sort of things (the country which, strangely, they insist on remaining in) and crime is one of them...Some of us often ask for ACTUAL EVIDENCE from a RELIABLE source backing up their claims or implications, and the most they do is to provide anecdotes reported on anonymous posts as if that was RELIABLE information...The list linked on the OP, even with imperfections, IS reliable information...And it says, that NO city in the DR is among the 50 worst of the world by murder rate (even though quite a few in the general vicinity of the DR, including San Juan, PR and Kingston Jamaica are).... ...Definitely RELIABLE RELEVANT information...
too bad it is also 'positive'...right?...but seems to be true, right?
Maybe you or the OP can change the title of the thread to:
"No Dominican city among world's most dangerous."
what about that?
