Camden is a city in the US State of New Jersey. It is a suburb of Philadelphia with a population of about 72 000 inhabitants. The initial growth of Camden industrially is often credited to the "big three" employers: RCA Victor, Campbell’Soup Company and New York Shipbuilding Corporation. Though the city has declined in recent decades since the decline of heavy industry in the area the city has made efforts to revitalize itself. Once known for violent crime, the restructuring of the police force in 2013 has been credited for its decline.
