昨天芝加哥太阳报以" THE SECOND MOST DANGEROUS NEIGHBORHOOD IN AMERICA"为标题报道了芝加哥治安状况。FBI说全美国第二最危险的区就在芝加哥大学附近。请有关家长让孩子注意安全。

平时尤其是天黑后不要独自外出。若去市中心，最好走湖边线。尽可能避免“红线，绿线”。

芝加哥大学是所非常好的大学。只要注意安全，在那里学习还是很好的选择。

下面是详细内容。

Chicago's most dangerous neighborhoods
URBAN CRIME | FBI statistics show residents near 55th and State had 1-in-4 chance of being victims

June 23, 2009

BY MARK J. KONKOL Staff Reporter
Chicago is home to four of the top 25 most dangerous "neighborhoods" in the country, including a sliver of Washington Park that ranked No. 2, a recently released study of FBI crime statistics shows.

Folks who lived near 55th and State -- less than two miles from President Obama's house and the possible site of a future Olympic stadium -- had a 1-in-4 chance of becoming a victim of violent crime each year between 2005 and 2007, according to NeighborhoodScout.com.

Four of the nation's 25 most dangerous neighborhoods are in Chicago, a new analysis finds.

25) Chicago, Winchester Ave./60th St.
That section of Washington Park -- home to part of the now-demolished Robert Taylor public housing high-rises during the years of the study -- was edged out of the top spot by a crime-ridden corner of Cincinnati, Ohio.

Chicago was the only city to land more than two neighborhoods on the list, which ranked danger by calculating the number of violent crimes per 1,000 residents in a census tract.

Chicago's three other danger zones are located in poverty-stricken Englewood, a hot bed for violence in recent years. They include census tracts near:

8226; 8226; 66th and Yale, ranked No. 19 with a violent crime ratio of 115 (per 1,000 residents).

8226; 8226; 58th and Wallace and 60th and Winchester, ranked No. 24 and 25, respectively.
