City/Metro Murders for 2010 (state, crime, homicide, population)

[R1070]

Crime does seem to but up everywhere this year for some reason.

I still can't imagine how it was here 15-20 years ago.

Violent crimes in Chicago:

1991: 90,522
2009: 33,486
2010: 30,100*

*given an 11% steady decline over the first 5 months of the year. Hopefully it holds.

A 67% drop in violent crime - that's crazy. I think for NYC it's even more. It must have been a real mess here before.
