... I do not even know if I should respond but here I do.... There is barely any difference between summer and "winter" in those places so no spike... Do you homework, watch the news, the police briefing... Homicide do spike in most city during the summer because more people are out
Why the snark? I was asking a legitimate question because I live in a colder city where our homicides spike from May-September. I can't afford to travel so I have limited familiarity with warm-weather cities and was honestly just curious if they also saw a May-September spike in general or had their homicides relatively uniform in nature throughout the year. If someone can be out socializing in January in some of these cities, then it seems as if homicides would be just as likely to occur during winter in them as in summer. I was just asking for clarification.

I thought you were sarcastic... So sorry for that but the way you put it made it seems like your are sarcastic. I apology and I did not mean that. Any way in the US, crime do spike in the summer. Watch Chicago this summer especially on Memorial day if gets crazy
10 includes 2 charged for murders last year + police shooting, 7 committed in 2017. SPVM includes opened cases and police shootings that result in homicides, but when they release #'s they exclude those. So at this moment MTL is at 7
Atlanta is still at 25 as of 5/20. 2 murders in the last month compared to 7 murders in the same time period last year. Murders overall are down 31% YTD(Last year had 36 murders by this time). Atlanta is on pace now for a record low year since maybe the 60s.
EDIT: Calculated Atlanta's current YTD murder rate with new 2016 population estimate: 5.29/100k...current projected YE murder rate: 13.8/100k
Obviously the census estimates lag(and may not even be accurate) by about 10 months so the murder rate is likely slightly lower than this in actual terms.

Thank you. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I didn't mean to sound sarcastic at all.
Historically no city was worse than New York at it's peak.
Of course on a per capita level there's plenty of more dangerous cities but 8 million people living in a packed concrete jungle during the crack epidemic was a true warzone.
Each borough was capable of putting up 700-800 bodies a year.Now today it looks like Baltimore is becoming the next Detroit.

7.3 million live in NYC at it peak also Chicago, Philly, Bailtmore, D.C, Newark, Detroit, L.A was just as bad. Smaller cities were wild too pretty much almost every city was at their peak with crime rates 1982-1998. Around 1996 crime rates starting to fall slowly in nearly city around country. Gentrification pick up speed in early 2000s in NYC but took off in 2011
They really clean up NYC and LA crime rates at low for it size still have bad areas but not as bad as 90s or Early 2000s
