Murders Are Rising the Most in a Few Isolated Precincts of Major Cities

. Mr. Ludwig calculates that nearly three-quarters of Chicago’s homicide increase in 2020 was concentrated in a cluster of eight of the city’s 25 police districts, mostly in the city’s predominantly Black South Side and largely Hispanic West Side.

Similar patterns have shown up elsewhere. New York saw a 47% increase in homicide in 2020 concentrated in a patch of Brooklyn neighborhoods with a long history of violence, including Brownsville, Crown Heights and Bedford Stuyvesant. It also hit the south Bronx and the Harlem section of Manhattan, said Michael LiPetri, the New York Police Department’s chief of crime control strategies.

In St. Louis, six of 76 neighborhoods, representing 7% of the city population, accounted for half of the 2020 homicide increase to 264 from 194, said Richard Rosenfeld, a crime researcher at the University of Missouri, St. Louis. They tended to be minority and poor, he said.

Reading all these replies and wishing someone would murder me

Also killing ppl in poor neighborhoods: lack of healthcare, malnourishment, exposure.

this should be framed in terms of economic loss over the last year, not in terms of crime rates (which are biased to begin with)

Really groundbreaking stuff here. Low income areas are full of crime!! Get the fuck out of here... No way...

I wonder those who support defunding the police understand the impact that it has on the most vulnerable communities.

It's the Trump effect why these murders are up in these communities The police departments have pulled back and people seem to forget that the biggest union in this country for police officers endorsed Donald Trump So yeah they don't give a shit anymore and that's the dam truth.

I am recently in your country, looking for new friends
