To identify the cities where crime is soaring, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the percent change in the violent crime rate for metropolitan statistical areas between 2011 and 2016 from the FBI’s annual Uniform Crime Report. To be considered, areas had to have retained the same geographic boundaries during the period covered. Total violent crimes, property crimes, and each of their constituent crime types also came from the FBI.

Democrats run those cities.

I will also bet that they are all democrat controlled areas as well.

Yep. Democrat majority = rise in crime, lower employment opportunities, rise in welfare, rise in drug availability, decrease in police ability to to their jobs, chaos...
