Letter: Custodians seldom get enough recognition

George Rice writes:
Thanks to Tina Corbin for remembering the custodians after the Halloween clean up. Custodians seldom get any recognition for their hard work. And custodians are just as important to any facilities as any others. --George

Is Columbia among the safest cities in Kentucky?

Columbia sits at #25 on a recent list of Safest Cities in Kentucky

By Pen Waggener

The FBI collects the voluntary reporting of participating local, county, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement agencies, and then periodically releases crime statistics to the public through the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program.

The FBI provides lots of state-level interpretation of the data and trend comparisons. For example, Kentucky is well below the national average for violent crimes per 100,000 people, and that trend is fairly constant over the decade of 2008 to 2018.

However, the FBI strongly and specifically warns against using their data to compare locales, for over a dozen reasons, including population density, youth concentration of populations, stability of the population, mobility, commuting patterns, and transient factors, economic conditions, modes of transportation, family conditions, local administrative policies on reporting, and even climate. ("Uniform Crime Reporting Statistics_Their Proper Use_v2.pdf.").

Nevertheless, people love rankings, publishers love internet traffic, and Columbia fared pretty well in the comparison. Which is why we're reporting that a writer for Safewise.com, which promotes home security products, has taken the FBI's 2017 data set, cross-referenced some US Census Bureau poplulation estimates, and created a page called "Kentucky's 20 Safest Cities of 2019."

Columbia didn't make the top 20, but does sit at #25 on the list, which is based in a slightly nontransparent way on population, violent crimes per 1,000 residents, and property crime per 1,000 residents.
