What mistake? Oh, you mean mistaking the populations of Indiana and Wisconsin? Indiana has 6.4 million verse Wisconsin at 4.7 million. That's 1.7 million the way they taught us math back in the old days. I saw my nephew's research. It was based on FBI crime stats for 2005-2007. Wisconsin had a HIGHER violent crime rate due to its smaller population and lower population density. Think about this: Wisconsin has ONE major metro area: Milwaukee. Indiana has 3: Gary/Hammond (Chicago metro), Indianapolis and
Southern Indiana (Clark,Floyd and Harrison Cos.-Louisville metro). Other than Milwaukee,
I'm pretty sure than no other area in Wisconsin has to deal with the gang problems that
Gary/Hammond, Indianapolis and S.Indiana deal with. In Joel's research, if you excluded
Gary/Hammond and Indianapolis, Indiana had a 30% lower crime rate than Wisconsin. Remember this, more people live in Floyd and Clark Cos. Indiana than live in Wisconsin north of Wausau.
