Everyone is concerned about crime. Here are various resources to analyze crime statistics in the Las Vegas area.

The city of Las Vegas has been ranked one of the 10 safest cities out of 30 cities with a population of 500,000 or more, according to the new edition of City Crime Rankings, an annual reference book of crime statistics and rankings slated for publication this month. The city of Las Vegas joins San Diego, Nevada; Denver, Colorado, and New York, New York as one of the top 10 safest cities with 500,000 or more residents. The results of the ninth annual Safest City Award, which compares crime in 342 cities, were announced today by Morgan Quitno Press, a Lawrence, Kansas-based publishing and research company.

The ranking comes on the heels of a recent article in Money Magazine that ranked Las Vegas as the No. 1 best place to live in America. The magazine also highlighted downtown Las Vegas, Summerlin and Boulder City as the best places to live in the Las Vegas Valley.

Las Vegas Mayor Oscar B. Goodman said the city is a safe place for citizens because of the collaboration between the Metropolitan Police Department and city officials.

"This ranking proves what city officials have been saying all along, that Las Vegas is a safe place to raise a family, retire or just enjoy leisure time," Mayor Goodman said. "The perception of a safe community is the reality."

The Morgan Quitno Safest City Award is based on a city's rate for six basic crime categories - murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary and motor vehicle theft.
