As many as 30 percent of Americans say they don’t feel safe in public places.

And a new Fox News study indicates people have every reason to feel unsafe. Homicides have increased across the board since last year, with increases of more than 100 percent in several U.S. cities. The worst? Portland, which has since an 800 percent increase in murders over the past year, the study reveals.
