We already knew this locally, and "harvard scientists" should too. NH with its "lax" gun laws and MA with its draconian gun laws have similarly-sized cities close across the border, Nashua and Lowell. Nashua's violent crime rate is quite low, while Lowell is an absolute hole, with lots and lots of violent crime.
Some of Boston's suburbs like Roxbury, Dorchester and Mattapan are so bad that you can literally hear 9mm pops every night in the distance, despite the fact that they're all illegal.
