Letter From Camden County Prosecutor Vincent Sarubbi to Morgan Quinto 11/21/05  Read...

November 21, 2005     Quinto Ratings already stale by a year. Gargantuan
strides accomplished in 2005, which are not reflected in Quinto's just released rankings for 2004.  If rankings took this past year into account, Camden would not even get a mention.

Last year's ranking brought some unforeseen benefits to the city. In the month after the announcement, federal and state law enforcement officials pledged to devote more resources to Camden.  The results of which are not measured in the already stale Quinto period.

The method Morgan Quinto uses to determine the rankings is attacked regularly by criminologists and sociologists, who criticize the company for not placing the data in context.

John Allen Paulos, author of Innumeracy: Mathematical Illiteracy and Its Consequences and a professor of mathematics at Temple, labeled the Morgan Quinto company's methodology "incomprehensible."

Latest and most accurate report: Camden crime rates fall 25 % Declines posted in all categories!

'Most dangerous' 2004 label strikes Camden again 
Reforms have helped reduce Camden crime rate, officials say   

Official Website: Morgan Quinto Crime Rankings        
  (This is a for-profit publication that uses stale numbers. The statistics used here are almost two years old.)

Camden saw a spike in murders in 2004, with 49. This year, there have been 22. Sarubbi attributes the decline to crime-mapping, using CompStat -- computer statistics employed by police -- to allocate crime-fighting resources, and an infusion of federal law enforcement aid in January.

CAMDEN RANKINGS
Camden's placement in the Morgan Quitno Most Dangerous City Rankings: 2005: 1 out of 369 cities 2004: 1 out of 354 cities 2003: 4 out of 350 cities 2002: 6 out of 342 cities 2001: 6 out of 327 cities 2000: 5 out of 322 cities 1999: 3 out of 315 cities 1998: 2 out of 300 cities All of these rankings are based on the previous year's statistics. Before the release of the 1998 report, Morgan Quitno limited its rankings to cities with populations of 100,000 or more.

Little impact expected from Morgan Quinto's rankings this year
