Welcome To Little ROck ... Little Rock is the capital of Arkansas a little state in the United States. Little Rock’s Population is 198,541 as in 2016. Overall, we have a great natural state. As of today Arkansas’s capital state is turning into the “ Most Dangerous Small City “. With all the help from the people in the city and other communities hopefully, Little Rock will turn back into it’s great state.

In Little Rock it has been 46 homicides in 2017 and that is not the highest homicide rate in Little Rock but it’s getting close. People in Little Rock are dying everyday and we need to get this under control because this is getting out of hand. Children and their parents are dying almost every month or so and that is ridiculous and just unbelieveable. I really think that Little Rock as the city it is should really do more than we are doing. The all we have right now is the Victory Over Violence Walk and that is not working at all in my opinion. I really think that Little Rock should do way more than what they are doing to help our city keep the violence down and make our city safer.

Why is there so many robberies in Little Rock?
I believe if we make programs for the poor this wouldn’t happen as much because if they need it they can just go to the place to help them get help with money & needs.
Most need money because christmas is around the corner and people need money for their kids and most of them are african american. 5
How are most of the killings in Little Rock Gang related? Most of the killings in Little Rock are because the people in the gang feel like if they don't kill they aren't committed. 6

What this all adds up to... These topics are one of the main reasons why Little Rock is called ¨dangerous¨. Little Rock used to be ¨peaceful¨, but now itś just ¨dangerous¨. We feel as though even if we talk about this and try to stop it, it won't happen. But, after all it´s still the natural state!
