Many of the homicides in Austin and San Diego are Latinos, which Canada only has in very small numbers. But it's amazing how safe San Diego is compared to Tijuana, which has the highest homicide rates in the world. Zona Norte, one of the worst parts of Tijuana, is blocks from the US border. Other side of the border and Tijuana River is everyday suburban America.
Surprisingly San Diego is not that Latino despite being close to the border. The Hispanic population is only around 30% which I believe also includes Hispanic Whites (which overlaps with the whites count). Anyhow the majority of the city is white and many of them wealthy. As mentioned earlier in the thread the city of San Diego annexed many affluent communities to the north including La Jolla.
I think as we get into June, July and August, I think it’s important to compare the homicide numbers from these months to the next couple of months. Then we can get a better idea of what type of rise we are actually dealing with.
Like I’m saying, considering how low the homicide total was from Chicago’s Memorial Day weekend, which tends to be one of the most violent weekends, I not sure this intense rise is going to hold up, especially into next year. I think we are more looking at a more intense repeat of 2015-2016, instead of a more concrete rise.
I think if there is that lack of exponential crime growth in these next couple of months, I doubt year-end totals are going to be like they were last year. There’s some research that has shown that a single shooting on average creates 3 more, and I think this is the reason why often times a city like Boston or Toronto can go three weeks without a homicide and then suddenly there’s 4 or 5 in a single week. Violence should be treated like a epidemic. This doesn’t necessarily deal with the direct reasons for crime but it’s part of the reason crime can spike, especially on the micro-level.

I remember Chicago having no more than 500 homicides in the 2000's. Things didnt get to this current state until around 2016 so it is doable for chicago to revert back to its 2000 rates

But it already came back to the rates of the 2000s in 2018-2019.

What im saying is in the 2000's (2000-2010) Chicago used to have around 400-500 murders a year and a murder rate of around 15-18. IT started getting bad in 2016. The 2000 rates im referring to are the early 2000's. The 2018-2019 rates are what started in 2016 and are similar to numbers in the 90's not 2000's

2000-2003 was in the 600s, then it dropped to the 400s and low 500s from 2004 up until 2016.
Shooting victims are up 511 compared to 293 (2020) / 295 (2019). These numbers are approximate due to the way the department releases data.
Overall murder numbers are trending down compared to 2020, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's due in part to the department playing loose with what falls under Negligent Manslaughter. Department did this during 2010-2015 and it led to historical lows. A large number of shootings are also being coded simply as injured person or investigation reports.
