Metro's Most "Dangerous" Stations

Since WMATA is installing a lot of surveillance cameras, employs 420 sworn police officers, 106 security special police, and 24 civilian personnel and has stationed this behemoth at various stations, we were curious about crime stats on Metro.
The idea of this posting seemed simple enough: to tabulate the stations where you’re most likely to be the victim of a crime. Well, like most things, Metro doesn’t make it easy.
They publish their stats in a different format each year, covering different time spans and reporting the crimes in detail sometimes and sometimes not. Still, if you’re willing to weed through, you can make some sense of it.
Metro-wide, your chances of being a victim of a “part 1” crime is, according to Metro, “2.27 per million customers.” That's pretty low.
Part 1 crimes are violent and property crimes such as aggravated assault, rape, murder, robbery, arson, burglary, larceny-theft and motor vehicle theft, according to Wikipedia. They do not include such things as simple assault, disorderly conduct, drug offenses, public drunkenness, sex offenses, stolen property, vandalism and weapons offenses.
Metro could not provide us with complete list of 2008 crime, but here are the "worst" stations for the period of Jan.-July 2008, with the number of part 1 crimes reported at each.
