Three-year homicide rate rises

2000 - 40
2001 - 63

Tripled from this event, huh?

I love this quote from the article you posted:

James Fox, a criminology professor at Northeastern University in Boston, agrees that 67 "is still not large." And three years isn't long enough for a good study, he said:

"That's sort of Chicken Little thinking," he said.

Cities all over the country have seen spikes in their homicide rate.

Hilarious.

98 i mean. sorry. still a 5 yr window and an astronomical jump. thats...

1999-32
2001-65

think about what a 58 pct increase is. 107 homicides nxt yr.

[Cincy-Rise]

A 5 year window! Wow ... lol ...


Another thing that your article mentions ...

Your article attributes the crime from drugs. How many homicides in the city were directly in relation to drug deals gone bad? If you guessed over 90% ... then you are right!

Hillside, a word of advice ... Don't buy drugs at 3 am and you'll be fine.

I was reading in another thread and I noticed that you quoted this: "oh and on morgan quitno as far as major cities go that puts cle at 5 and nati at 7" ...

Are you referring to the '05, '06', or '07 version, because Cincinnati wasn't rated #7 in any of the Morgan Quintino studies ... Like I said earlier, it was rated 16th in '07, not 7th.


You crack me up! You've gotta tell me your story ... what's really going on?

[hillside]

this is classic....where ya from man? you think thats the only way ppl die? its so many cinci apologists on here im just being realistic i even had links to check out....and every police chief will tell u 90 pct are drug related. ive grew up w ppl who were killed doing things other than buying drugs at 3am...like walking, sitting, and standing..in daylight...its an almost insulting assertion..

[hillside]

i said out of major cities 300,000+

2007

that makes cinti 7th

no thanks on the advice, im from california and reading i know how to walk a street

[hillside]

do you think a big city mayor is gonna look at this and say to themselves, "gee whiz, we're right there with compton and gary!", or "we're right there with baltimore and kansas city"

Hillside, how many people were killed by "walking, sitting, or standing?" ...

You are a trip!

[hillside]

Do you know what per capita means?

per capita: Definition and Much More from Answers.com

It makes any city relevant in comparison, that's why it's used for almost all media sources. It's mathematical. It just makes sense, that's why sociologist and researchers use it.

I live in downtown Cincinnati. I can walk out my front door and see beautiful OTR!

You've met your match on here haven't you.
