[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There were 222 homicides in 2021, which was the most since 2003. So yes, it’s factually accurate to say that violent crime is approaching 1990s levels based on current trends. [/quote] I lived here in the 90s. We had 400 plus misters a year and fewer people. [/quote] The homicide rate went down to a remarkable low of 88 in 2012 before rising almost three fold to 226 in just nine years. At this rate, it will be back to 400 within a decade.[/quote] What were we doing in 2012 that we are not doing today?[/quote] First of all, 88 to 226 isn’t “almost three times.” Second, the count for 2022 is 199, 11 percent lower than this point last year. So, no at this rate it won’t be back to 400 within a decade. [/quote]
