FBI data released in June 2006 earned St. Louis the number one spot on a list of America’s most dangerous cities. In just one year, rates of violent crime rose nearly 20%.

Local workers looking to join St. Louis’s fight against crime have the option of attending a bachelor’s criminal justice degree program at an online University to launch criminal justice careers of their own.
