I'm not that computer savvy, but you can google it and the pdf shows homicides for every city in every year from 1930-1959.
In 1931, Chicago had 545 felonious homicides, but 202 of them were counted as "manslaughter by negligence". I can't help but believe that gangsters had CPD and even the FBI on their payroll to fudge the numbers on many of them. However, Chicago was nowhere near alone, seeing Philadelphia was even worse with 374 of its 493 homicides fell under the negligence column. Insane. No data on NYC and LA for that year. In other crime categories for that year, Chicago was significantly worse with robberies (14,431), burglaries(18,670), and auto thefts(29,158) than what it has experienced in the last 7 years.

Most cities don't recognize stats prior to 1960 the UCR didn't become an annual report until 1958. Negligent manslaughter was a secondary classification that wasn't included in UCR reports and was removed in 1958.

UCR been reporting since 1930s with 400 cities participating at beginning. By 1950, there's over 1,000 cities in the range of micropolitan ( 10K-50k) to typical metros participating. The 50s is also the first time they calculated metropolitan areas too.
Negligent manslaughter is included. Did you know use the links provided???????
