When you got the site that published this study and scroll down it shows a lot of info on the top 25 conservative and liberal cities. To me the big, glaring differences (and I think it accounts for much of the crime difference) is the difference in poverty level in those cities.

The conservatives cities have an average of 12.252% of their population at or below the poverty line. In the liberal cities that number jumps to 22.252%. So there are nearly twice as many poor people living in the liberal cities as the conservatives cites. Poverty breeds self destruction and crime.

I have a feeling these crime statistics have a little more to do with economic situation than political ideology.
