The homicide rate may be rising in some U.S. cities, but slayings are still a localized phenomenon, with most U.S. counties not seeing a single homicide in 2014.

The vast majority of homicides occurred in just 5 percent of counties, and even there the murders were localized, with some neighborhoods untouched by the violence, according to a new report released Tuesday by the Crime Prevention Research Center.

“I just think most people have a real misunderstanding about how heavily concentrated murders are,” said John R. Lott Jr., the author of the study. “You have over half the murders in the United States taking place in 2 percent of the counties.”

President Trump vowed in his inaugural address to end “American carnage” in the nation, especially in crime-ridden inner cities, and the report offers more data points that depict a distinct urban-rural divide in the U.S.
About 70 percent of the counties, accounting for 20 percent of the U.S. population, had no more than one murder in 2014, with 54 percent of counties experiencing zero murders, the report found.

Meanwhile, 5 percent of the counties, which made up nearly half the population, accounted for more than two-thirds of murders in the country, with the highest numbers concentrated in areas around major cities like Chicago and Baltimore.

At this point they should just drop munitions on these degenerates. Notice how most of them are heavily Democratic jurisdictions, St. Louis, Chicago, Baltimore, Washington D.C, Oakland, etc.

? Duh, of course counties with a lot of people are the places where most instances of violent crime occur. That's like pointing out there are more car accidents in areas where there are more cars. Duh.

What matters is the # of crimes compared to the # of people, a.k.a. the crime rate. Compare multiple years of data to account for anomalous spikes and then you have a clearer picture of where the "degenerates" live. Here's the data for the 2014 figures the Washington Times relies upon, except accounting for population size.

In that case NYC, Seattle, Boston, Portland, Denver, Austin, Dallas, violent crime rate should be very high yet its not. Population is one factor but the key is demographic.

You're reasoning is too simple-minded. I just highlighted for you 7 major cities that all have low crime rates compared to the other 5% counties/cities.

Says the one that opens the thread with the suggestion of partisan elimination of where Americans live. smh

No crap some cities are safer than others. Millionaires in Manhattan don't sell drugs to make a living? You don't say! None of that has anything to do with your initial claim that populous counties are where "degenerates" live and that "heavily democratic jurisdictions" are somehow to blame. Crime data, when accounting for population size, is clear.

Stop making excuses, drugs is only part of the problem. That doesn't explain the attacks and crimes against innocent people, muggings, car jackings, vandalism, theft, robberies, burglary, and other violent crimes that occur in these cities. Even when given the opportunity to better themselves with new schools and job training these degenerates continue.

Best thing to do is send in force and neutralize that population. It may be a simple solution but it's a very results oriented solution.

I honestly wonder how you can complain about "degenerates" while being a sociopath yourself.
