Orlando is another incredibly popular destination not just in the state but in the entire country, and yet, is still also among the most dangerous cities in Florida. The biggest attraction in the city is Walt Disney World, while Universal Orlando is home to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, in addition to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Recently, the Orlando police chief addressed efforts that are taking place to reduce crime in the city and stated that violent crime in the city is continuing to decline, and wanted tougher penalties for youths involved in gang crimes. Commissioners in the city have voted to apply for a grant of $2.25 million which is aimed at reducing crime.
