how many murders per year in your town?

Too many, I live in Indianapolis, IN... heh. Last one was in my backyard in June

 

Austin, TX - around 25 per year.

 

most of the time 0

 

Mmm, there was 594 homicides in Canada in 2007.

I'd guess that about 10-15 of them happened in London. We had quite a few.

 

I dont know the numbers, but washington DC.. It was the murder capital at least my entire childhood, not sure about these days. The thing about dc is people will fuck you up for no reason. You never know what is going to happen here, lots of people get killed randomly in decent neighborhoods within the city. You have to walk hard sometimes.

Right outside the city in northern VA, it is now on some FBI list as their top target for gang activity. MS-13 is huge, apparently more members than los angeles. When they initiate a member, they tell them to go rape a woman, or kill someone. Some guy just got his arm cut off with a machete behind shoppers food wharehouse a couple months ago..

My other city is Jacksonville, FL which has the highest murder rate in florida, including Miami. A few years ago everyone was freaking out there because the count was higher than the previous year and climbing, with more than half the year left. The main difference is that the majority of those murders were drug related. The victim generally knows the killer there, and is involved with them somehow. Jacksonville is a port city, so there are a lot of drugs on the streets, and a lot being trafficked in and out. DC has a lot more crime that seems to be random and without reason

 

supposedly there were 801 murders last year (edit: that probably isn't accurate as there are conflicting figures) in my hometown, which is the lowest homicide rate the city has seen in over 40 years.
apparently LA had just over half that number, but that doesn't seem right. LA feels more dangerous than New York to me.

 

average, rounded to integer, and reno, not reno sparks, I'm closer to sparks, and for all intents and purposes reno and sparks should be the same city, but, it's stupid,

23

 

Cooloner

or

'twas Jack the Ripper guv

 

Not enough.

 

Think it was about 1992 here as well, there's plenty of scrapping at the weekend down the local pub though.

I think there may well be a murder this year if my next door neighbour doesn't stop walking me up at 6 in the fucking morning loading his van, why can't he fucking do this the night before for fuck's sake.

 

Roughly 55 per year mainly due to gang activity according the the site I just looked up. I know the average here is high, but I don't know if I believe it's quite THAT high.

Anyway, I live on the good side of town thankfully, in between two yuppy-villes, but I send my children to another school district because the school which they would normally attend due to our location (weird, because our address is actually listed as one of the yuppy towns yet we fall on the border of a different school district), I'm not too keen on sending them. I plan on doing so until we move elsewhere.

I'll admit, there's parts of my town that I wouldn't venture in (there are four sides to my town), so I don't. My area however is extremely safe. Although we did have a string of robberies here over the summer.

 

These are the crime stats for London, ON http://www.police.london.ca/Publications/CrimeStats.htm

On average we have about 5 murders per year.

Not that big compared to Edmonton's 30 per year.

 

As far as I know we haven't had one. I do know that there have been a few bodies uncovered on one of the roads close by. There are allot of pine trees growing around that area, perfect place to hide a body. I've heard a few stories but I don't think any of them are true.

no murders in the county last year. there is usually one or two every couple years here. a lot of meth heads in the county and a lot of folks come here to hide out if they are wanted elsewhere..we had a cop killed serving a warrant on one a couple,few years back.

we do however get lots of bodies dumped in this county of people murdered down towards atlanta.. at least a couple of them a year..

 

murders last year: [SIZE=-1]184, disturbing tidbit #2: rape[/SIZE] [SIZE=-1]1,634. shitty
[/SIZE]

 

Around 100 murders per year

 

"the homicide rate for Toronto is 1.9 per 100,000 people"

whatever that means

 

It means for every 100,000 people, 1.9 are killed per year

 

just the average for the amount of people there are in Toronto. For every 100,000 people, an average of around 2 are murdered

Its 14.2 per 100,000 here

 

The fact theres a place called London in Canada is annoying. :frown:


Anyway, I tried to find out but I couldnt for this town.
County however, Hertfordshire has 9.5 per 100000 people.
