A new blog from Jeff Asher, a New Orleans-based crime analyst, explains that these studies might lead to misconceptions about crime in certain cities, including St. Louis. Asher even went as far as to say "ignore it" when new studies ranking the safest or most dangerous US cities emerged.One of Asher's key arguments is that the methodology in ranking cities is often flawed. For instance, a "safest cities" study published in 2023 might use the latest FBI crime data available from 2021.
