Stocktons reputation for criminality is far from great. It is considered to have quite a high crime rate compared to other cities in the region to which it belongs. The city administration has put a lot of effort into beautifying public spaces. In order to achieve this goal, the administration applied a strategy based on the theory of broken windows. This theory links crime reduction to renovations and beautification. Still, according to Forbes magazine, Stokoton is one of the five most dangerous cities in America. The city has the second-highest crime rate in the U.S., so travelers who are going to visit the city should be wary.
