New crime rankings put SB in 36th place

San Bernardino has the 36th worst crime rate in the United States, according to new rankings released by CQ Press.

That's a step down from last year, when San Bernardino held the 42nd spot. Nevertheless the city holds a better ranking than in 2004, when San Bernardino was listed as the 16th most dangerous city in the nation.

The most dangerous city, according to the list, is New Orleans. The safest city in America is Ramapo, N.Y.
