According The Onion Liberty City’s crime problem is attributed to the lax policing of the LCPD.

“Many blame the LCPD directly for the increase in criminal activity, citing the department’s lax procedure for arresting criminals, which involves taking 10 percent of the suspect’s money, confiscating his weapons, and simply releasing him from custody later that day. Outraged citizens say this is not enough, especially in a city where assault rifles can be found on factory roofs and grenade caches are located under the globe at the old World’s Fair site.”

This is a travesty and concerns me for other large metroploitian cities such as Los Santos and Vice City.  This article doesn’t even mention the fact that there are no young people in Liberty City.  WHERE ARE ALL THE CHILDREN?  I smell a conspiracy.
