Church Hill was recently ranked as the 10th most dangerous neighborhood in the entire country. This, however, is not accurate, as the area considered in this study is actually known as Church Hill North: a distinctly separate neighborhood containing the Mosby Court housing project north of Church Hill proper. The area in question is contained within the boundaries of the Church Hill Central Neighborhood and Church Hill North Old and Historic District.

Famous quotes containing the word crime:
“By measuring individual human worth, the novelist reveals the full enormity of the State’s crime when it sets out to crush that individuality.”
—Ian McEwan (b. 1938)
“Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
—Barbara Bowman (20th century)
“Crime seems to change character when it crosses a bridge or a tunnel. In the city, crime is taken as emblematic of class and race. In the suburbs, though, it’s intimate and psychological—resistant to generalization, a mystery of the individual soul.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
