Talk:Morgan Quitno

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an article about Morgan Quitno. Why is 2/3 of the article dedicated to just one of their reports? --Millbrooky 04:45, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Criticisms

Somewhere on this page, if the section about the Most Dangerous Cities is kept, needs to be a section about criticisms to Morgan Quitno's methodologies. Of particular note is that the FBI recommends agaist comparing cities using the very data Morgan Quitno uses in their crime studies. --Millbrooky 04:45, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

This has since been done. -- Beland 00:40, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removed

I removed the following text because it is unreferenced and seems to present an original analysis. The conclusion reached is also dubious. The differences could easily be due to differences between the cities' core areas and suburbs. -- Beland 00:40, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Problems with Morgan Quitno's "cities" ranking becomes evident when compared to Morgan Quitno's own most dangerous metro area rankings. Morgan Quitno puts Houston at number 22 out of 344 metro areas, but places St. Louis more than 100 slots lower (safer) at 129, with no explanation for the implausible disparity in the rankings between the two lists, inviting charges of flawed analysis.
