Saint Louis Crime Statistics Listen to the interview with Dr. Charles Schmitz, Co-Chair of the World Class City Group, on the McGraw Milhaven Show on Nov. 23, 2010 to hear about: The annual crime report from Morgan-Quitno gives Saint Louis a bad rap. Dr. Schmitz explains why in his KTRS interview. Why has the FBI discredited Morgan-Quitno's interpretation of FBI crime statistics? Why are some cities such as Chicago not included in this report? Why is it grossly misleading to use FBI crime data from the 66 square miles of Saint Louis City and, by inference, apply it to the Saint Louis region with its 8,000+ square miles or to Saint Louis County, both with very low crime rates?
