You have a source? 1993 was after the trauma center opened at UMd, and IIRC the murder rate fell when it opened, because what had been homicides became aggravated assaults instead. I am thinking it was higher back in the early 1980s - but I can't seem to find data from that far back.

PP, are you saying that the murder rate would be higher if not for effective trauma care at UMd and IIRC? If so, that doesn't negate what the PP had stated about the murder not exceeding 355.

She can thank her predecessor who took a stand against her own police force.

Police are NOT the problem. The problem is that ever kid on a corner has a loaded gun.

I would like to first get the numbers straight before guessing at what the rate would be absent the trauma center.

Stop and frisk. Should be encouraged.

But nope. She tried to frame the cops. So what do they care about going after the trash now.

Nope. They don't want the headache.

Typical racist. This has nothing to do with Freddie Grey - an innocent man.

If he was innocent, why did he run?

If you knew the Baltimore police, you would run too.

If that's an accurate description of what the police are doing and why, then they should all be fired. Bring in the state police or the feds.

You clearly live in Disneyland.

Google is your friend. Pretty easy to verify. 1993 is height of crack epidemic.

I did google and did not find Baltimore city homicide data beyond the last few years. Really, if you are making the case, its on you to provide the link.

While that article does say that 1992 and 1993 set records, it does not in fact say what the homicide rate was in earlier years, which is what I was looking for. I was thinking more of a year by year table.

Wondering how you survive in the modern world with your internet skills. Murder rate was significantly lower in the 1980s, Baltimore has excellent leadership then. http://www.disastercenter.com/maryland/crime/4850.htm
