Lots of cities breaking their records or seeing counts they havent seen in 2 decades. Numerous cities.
On the flipside it also seems other cities are seeing historic lows. Just from glancing over this thread every now and then it seems kind of polarizing, like a lot of cities are either finding themselves on one extreme or the other.
Gary, Indiana is at 42
Toledo, Ohio 39
Indianapolis 149
Canton, Ohio 16
LOUISVILLE Metro 101
Nashville Metro is at 93 almost 20 year high when 112 in 1997
Wichita is at 36
Kansas City 125
Columbus, Ohio 118
Youngstown, Ohio 23
Camden, NJ 25 same time last year 42
2017 is year many cities seeing close to historic highs of 1990s levels or historic lows in very long time. East St Louis, Gary, Camden, Chester, Wilmington, Harrisburg, York, Youngstown, Trenton are still extreme high violent crime cities under 100,000. Camden this year has show violent crime reduction again but it still too high a lot of work to done.

Speaking of historic highs, My hometown of Columbus, Miss broke it's past record last year with 10 homicides unfortunately. It's peak was 7 in 1991 then it hit 7 again in 2011. Currently sits at 1.
People tend to look over small cities but forget there homicides fluctuate more erratically than large cities generally.
Manhattan is at 41 compare to 35 last year(without pickup truck indent it would of been 33)
The Bronx is at 65 compare to 94
Brooklyn is at 102 compare to 120
Queens is at 44 compare to 45
Staten Island is at 11 compare to 20
Chicago was worse at the beginning of this year as 2016, things started to level off and come down this summer and now have really dropped the past 2-3 months.
Year to date through 12/6/17:
2016: 737
2017: 625
-15%
Shootings are also down more than 20%. October and November saw murders cut by 50% or more.

Cities in the Midwest and South are hitting record highs or numbers not seen in decades, while cities on the coasts are generally seeing some of their lowest rates/numbers.
