Actually Ala' has a high rate of murder, vastly higher than New York, and the 'south' has had the highest rate of murder for the last decade or two. Rural states tend to have higher rates of murder, what we tend to forget is the vast majority of murders occur within the family, husband or boyfriend shooting the wife is by far the most commen.
