Most fleets go to Mexico which has numerous reports of kidnappings and killings, but this was about the 717 so..

Sadly much of the 717 range has seen murder rates dramatically increase over the last decade.
There was a comment about the 717 seemingly being a safe bid. Maybe it’s safer, but not by as much as we would like it to be. All of us need to be aware of our surroundings.
The map says 2021 numbers, and yes all the highest states are a 717 flight from ATL. It also has
New York as one of the lower, well below Georgia.
Massachusetts is in the lowest catagory. I don't know what those rates are compared to international rates but it would be interesting to look. Maybe it's just my feel but I think we are safer domestically. We at least have one less reason: Americans... I originally commented on torture not homicides but it's all violent crime.
