If that guy was stabbed last year and died from the injuries sustained then will it officially go down on this years or last years figures?

Oakland is at 14 murders now, after shootings in north and east oakland. There were 5 at this time last year.

It's good to see the downward trajectory continuing for Detroit especially considering what a mild winter we've had.

[tech12]

13 for SF, after a shooting in the Mission district, and a stabbing in the Tenderloin. There were 8 murders at this time last year.

Columbus now at 25. I wonder if the unusual warm spells this winter have anything to do with this higher than usual number?

wow, just reading about chicago stats from last year. murder was up 57%, five seven!, and chicago represented nearly half of all murders contributing to the nationwide spike. thats impressive. not being on the ground, whats the deal? extraordinary corruption, under staffed, fergusson effect, public housing demolition, mega gangs?? chicago crime should merit its own thread.

CPD essentially went into reactive mode rather than proactive mode because moral was low (their excuse, not mine) and they didn't want to have to fill out a two page report if they wanted to stop-and-frisk someone versus the index card sized document they used before. Rahm even referred to officers as having become "fetal."

The corruption is the same, while officer levels are down from previous years there wasn't a major difference between 2015 and 2016 levels as far as I'm aware, the Ferguson Effect has been blamed, the large projects have been gone for ages at this point, and the gang problem is splintered gangs rather than mega gangs. Chicago and the feds dropping the hammer on gang leadership in previous years, in addition to the projects demolition scattering members to the wind, splintered the gangs. Now people are murdering each other over Facebook and Twitter posts and fighting over literal street corners, if the local media is to be believed.

Rahm did claim the city is going to hire a bunch of new officers (with what money, I don't know), but it's only going to bolster the police force back to its 2011 number or something like that. Evidently retiring cops have been outstripping new hires for years.

do you think they just gave up on policing in the hood and are satisfied letting nature take it course? ive read some cops calling it the aclu effect too after the state passed that law with the two page report being enacted. crime trends come in waves, some years up or down, but a sixty percent rise in the worst crime metric is abhorrent. even during the recession it was at a pretty stable level. how can rahm sleep at night?? im sure its not as bad as the press is making it out to be but it seems like crooks nationwide have gotten the message that cops are relaxing their standard procedures a bit...not good...

To a degree they did. I don't have the numbers in front of me, but I believe arrests were down and so was the confiscation of illegal guns.

As for Rahm, he's probably more worried about his poll numbers more than anything else. After all, it was alleged that he sat on the Laquan McDonald video so that he could win reelection. Had the video been released prior to the election, Rahm would have likely lost.

In all honesty though, beyond a few high profile killings last year, the vast majority of the increased homicides happened in the neighborhoods that were already prone to them. This meant life went on as usual in the majority of the city, and not a lot of people cared. That's why you could have multiple people dead in a day in neighborhoods like Englewood and Austin and no one would so much as blink on the North Side, but then someone got killed near the Art Institute and *then* people started freaking out. Only the murders in unusual locations shocked the city.
