I think at this point in the year, New Orleans is the city with the most murders in the country.
Tijuana is at 73 for the year. I will try to get an update on Ciudad Juarez.
To think the highest murder rated city in the US is only hours from the highest murder rated city in the world. Makes me think about where Im currently residing... Texas... To the south... Juarez, Mexico, and to the east... New Orleans, Louisiana... So far its not that bad here...
Brooklyn NY has had 34 homicides as of January 23rd. And thats with the highest police presence than any city in the U.S
As of January 17th, NYC had 14 murders, and Brooklyn had 3 murders. I somehow doubt that Brooklyn racked up 31 additional homicides in just 8 days, especially taking NYC's continuous and impressive crime drop into account.
richmond and norfolk both have 4 so far. virginia beach, chesapeake, and newport news all have 1 so far. thats pretty good. all those cities had increase in murders last year, except chesapeake.
South Jamaica, NY (pop. 60,000) has had 2 murders so far in 2010 (according to the NYPD)
New York City (pop. 8,300,000) as a whole has had 14 murders so far (according to the NYPD).
Just look at the significant population differences between the two, one neighborhood that makes up 0.7% of NYC's population contributes 14% of its homicides. NYC overall is a very safe city but it has its bad spots, I hope the NYPD goes full force in areas that actually need it. Luckily I'll be up out of this piece soon.
I'd just like to add that NYC (overall) homicide-wise is where it was in 2009 however rapes jumped 40%, everything else is pretty much the same.
As of January 17th, NYC had 14 murders, and Brooklyn had 3 murders. I somehow doubt that Brooklyn racked up 31 additional homicides in just 8 days, especially taking NYC's continuous and impressive crime drop into account.
You're not counting the triple homicide in Brooklyn?
Baltimore, MD - 11
Washington DC - 7
Philadelphia, PA - 19
