[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For additional context in 1995 PG had 147 murders, DC had 320, and Montgomery County had 20. To be just as dangerous, if not 20% more dangerous, as it was at the height of the crack epidemic is not good. Especially when PG’s and DC’s murder stats are a fraction of what they were then. [/quote] Also 1995 was not the height of the crack epidemic.[/quote] Should we mark that year at 1991, when DC recorded 490 murders while Montgomery County recorded 28 murders? That 28 murder figure in 1991 is just 4 murders shy of last year’s total for murders even though DC is a MUCH safer city now by any metric. This should trouble everyone, but it is NBD for some reason. https://scholar.lib.vt.edu/VA-news/ROA-Times/issues/1993/rt9312/931220/12200022.htm[/quote]
