In all fairness, I think people in blue states often make knee-jerk assumptions about red staters as well. The assumption in this case might be that in places with smaller populations, it is much more difficult to behave in an anonymous way, so it would be a deterrent to committing a heinous crime.
I like the idea of "really fucked up murders"/murders as a crime statistic.
