yeah it does, but like i said before that is because such a small portion of los angeles is high crime. It is the same with new york, new york has a much lowere crime rate than you would think because of it is millions of people supposed to half a millon. Los Angeles cirm though is the worst in the world, gangs gangs and mor gangs. When you look at la, what cities are bad, part of long beach, compton, inglewood, etc... what parts are good, malibu, santa monica, most of long beach, beverly hills, etc... All the nice places crime get added with the bad places and it levels eachother out. With KC it is different because it is all one big hood. I know that Richmond, Ca has the highest crime in cali now, over compton. the crime is crazy out in irons triangle.
