First seventh months there was upstick in homicides but it starting to slow down in some cities.
Yeah, this is what I was predicting. There is currently no widespread signs of widespread urban collapse that a lot of people were/are predicting. That’s what makes this different from the late 60s and 70s when the violent crime increase was combined with intense rioting, job loss, white flight, and urban renewal all came together.
It’s not to say I’m not worried, I am very worried, but I’d be surprised if these numbers are apart of a larger decades long trend.

If you were to combine it with 2015 and 2016, it would look like a longer term increase, save for the decline in 2017-2019, but then it really jumped in 2020 and continued rising in 2021 though nothing like from 2019 to 2020.

Where did you get the info Des Moines is at 10, Des Moines is at 7. One of those have been ruled accidental as well. Are you maybe confusing that bar shooting that killed 3 in Des Moines WA and adding that to Des Moines number?
