Any list without Monroe in the top 10 is fraudulent

I'm putting this on the Recruiting Board because Florida and Alabama 100% use Baton Rouge crime as a recruiting tool against us.
Why wouldn't they?
And these issues are solvable. LSU carries a lot of clout in Baton Rouge, and if they cared, something would be done.

Saban did use the BR crime to persuade kids away from LSU

Yeah, New Haven was an absolute shithole when my family made the mistake of spending a night there in the late 80s on an east coast vacation trip(and promptly got our vehicle broken into in the hotel parking deck overnight). I can't imagine it has improved my much since.
When we got home our neighbor who used to live in Connecticut basically told us we should have asked him, cause it was a known shite town.

It’s sketchy around ULM’s campus. The hood surrounds them.

Virtually all of Tuscaloosa s crime is located in the west end of town.
And other pockets of similar neighborhoods
This is why to live in the "06" area (zip code 35406) is highly sought after.

Im not buying Cedar City, UT being on this list and Baton Rouge not being on it. That's completely ridiculous.
