Goal of the police department/city should be be to try to limit homicides to 30 or less come December.
That would guarantee the city to have under 40 homicides for the year, and it would Garner decent local press for the city.
40 range is average for the city, but people still feel unsafe.
30s is decent
20s very good and doable.
Teens - Canadian level safety. Amazing. But Its not happening any time soon.
26 for the city of Miami, first homicide in July too. Been a good month there.
I remember Miami used to be on the top 3/5 most dangerous cities list routinely like 20 years ago. The drop in # of homicides has been phenomenal to watch.
Miami has enjoyed extremely low homicide rates and gun violence in the last few years, and it is dropping even further in 2023, according to the Herald.
The reduction in crime comes even as Miami’s population is surging, making the drop even bigger on a per capita basis.
From the beginning of the year through early March 2023, there have been just four homicides and ten people shot in the entire city, the report said.
In the past two years, there have been 97 combined homicides – less than 50 per year each year, and the lowest since 1964.
One big difference from 1964 – Miami has at least 100,000 more residents now than it did then, making the per-capita drop much more significant.
The Herald noted that in the 1980s, there were nearly 300 annual homicides in the city.
