I'm tired of waiting months for a settlement.

Settled as 'Camden, NJ' Tue 16th Mar 10:31am PST by sqlman: Infoplease still hasn't released its 2009 list. However, the 2008 list (http://www.infoplease.com/us/cities/safest-dangerous-cities.html) clearly states that the source was cqpress.com; cqpress.com provided the rankings at walletpop.com, so we are safe in using that page (http://www.walletpop.com/insurance/dangerous-cities) for settlement, as it's the same source.
