Law Schools and Urban Danger

A group has published a list of the most dangerous and least dangerous cities; story here.  By my count, the Ten Most Dangerous cities are home to over a dozen ABA accredited law schools.  The Ten Least Dangerous cities have a total of two law schools.  Perhaps this means that whatever else might induce governments and universities to start law schools, the needs of the criminal justice system are one.
