6 Scary Missouri Places Most Likely to Beat You Up & Rip You Off

Violence can happen anywhere at any time, but there are a half dozen places in Missouri where you're more likely to get beaten up and/or ripped off based on a new ranking.

Safe Home claim to be security experts. They took a look at the entire state of Missouri and came up with the 6 places you're most likely to be a victim of violent crime and where your home is most likely to be burglarized.

Here are the 3 Missouri places with the highest violent crime rates:

1. Velda City
2. Berkeley
3. Riverview

What about your home? If you can't feel secure where you live, then what's the value of living there? Here are the 3 places in Missouri where you're most likely to face property crime:

1. North Kansas City
2. Berkeley
3. Cassville

Congratulations, Berkeley, Missouri for making both awful lists. That's quite an accomplishment. Also, how did North Kansas City not end up on the violent crime list top 3 also?

I also find it interesting that St. Louis city itself didn't end up contending for the top 3 in these lists, but I suppose that having Berkeley in both means the St. Louis area is at least represented so they don't lose their reputation of being the murder capital of America. Velda City and Riverview also representing, too.
