Camden, N.J., has the highest murder rate in the country, and the highest crime rate per capita – the criminals and drug deals operate in the open, and the police department is understaffed. But some residents are working hard to get their city back on track. NBC’s Brian Williams reports.

I met a chick from Camden in NC while I was at UNC. One of the nicest people you'll ever meet. I was surprised as hell when I found out she was from Camden. I joked with her about having to sleep with a gun under pillow. She said she did and was dead serious. She showed me an everything, which was crazy cause she kept doing it even in Chapel Hill.

So you moved there willingly? Why? Didn't they mobilize the National Guard there around the time you moved there?
-
Dudes that live there who like to brag about how bad their city is (where bad=bad) must be in heaven with all of that crime, violence, poverty and death.

I can imagine. What's weird is that Camden has been rated as the worst city in the country a lot over the past decade or so, but it never gets anywhere near as much press as places like Detroit and Chicago. You would think those places are much worse. -
5 worst american cities i've personally visited:
5. logan county, wv
4. flint, mi
3. memphis, tn
2. newark, nj
1. camden, nj
camden is the woat by far and it aint even close. smh @ nj being the ? of the us. -
Maaaan I used to hate driving to Camden. You hear gunshots in Paterson now and then too but when I used to get out Camden and get to Paterson ? would be like heaven and Paterson ain't no heaven for real

Stopped reading at "parade out in Camden." With all due respect, get the ? out of here. Why would you even go to that ? ? lol You don't see the army having parades in Afghanistan do you? Like "Nah, the Taliban won't ? this ? up because there are ? out here." -
Camden is bad, but its like any other hood in America. It just looks violent because its called a city/town. When in reality most ghettos in big cities match in population and have roughly the same amount of crime

Tragic

Camden has only 70k in population and is more dangerous per capita then any of these big cities. they also recently got rid of the police because of budget issues. 61 murders in a 10 mile square city -
damn is Camden that sad?
