"cities with the highest crime" is a dumb statistic. Huge swathes of our country couldn't count as a city if they all combined their populations. Those are incidentally also republican strongholds.
When you break crime rates down by county however, you get a much different set of numbers. Outside of MS which appears to not be willing to report its data, a high percentage of the red and purple counties are in southern Republican states.
