Homicide stats in Canadian Cities - Page 138

Québec City is still at 0. Over 12 months since our last murder.

We also have a federal prison (Donnacona) within the Metropolitan area. But I haven't noticed a lot of murders taking place there.

I think vid is right, it is a question of policing, there is nothing Montreal's police force can do to reduce crime in the Bordeaux prison.

Here is an update on the murder (in French, sorry) - http://ici.radio-canada.ca/regions/M...son-cote.shtml

Also, Kwoldtimer - the media's coverage of the mother has been far more unseemly. And I am sure the media have been trying to make a link. Victim blaming for sure.

FYI a Somali man has died after a "rough arrest" by Ottawa police. It happened on Sunday morning. He was unarmed and had mental health issues. The story is still developing. There is some video of the incident on Youtube if you look for it.

Time will tell whether it was a "homicide", although many people will already have made up their minds.

Body Found Outside Kelligrews Home

A person has been found dead outside a home in a subdivision in Kelligrews.

A body, believed to be a man, was found in the driveway of the home. The body is still there but is covered by a tarp. The ambulance has left the scene here on Bayview Heights, which is off Legion Road. Some people in the neighbourhood say they heard it was a stabbing but that has not been confirmed by police.

The call went to 9-1-1 at about 8:00 this morning.

If that's true that would be #2 for the St. John's area this year.

SignalHillHiker · #**2746** Posted **Jul 31, 2016, 2:38 AM**

Looks like it is #2, Marty.

And a stabbing in Paradise that may turn into #3 yet, fingers crossed not.

(All of these town names - Kelligrews, Seal Cove - are just the former towns that amalgamated to form Conception Bay South, our largest suburban municipality. The old town names are still used as geographic references. Kelligrews is close to the Dominion; Seal Cove is where the college is, etc. They're all connected in an unbroken chain of the very worst of suburbia).

What a riot!

I lived in Washington DC for a brief time a little over 25 years ago, and the local newspaper used to keep a running tally of the number of murders on a daily basis, totalling them up to the "number of murders so far this year is "x".

On average, in DC alone (population about 600,000), there averaged about two murders per day with roughly 650-700 murders per year (mostly in the southeast of the city).

At this rate, the District of Columbia would have over twice as many murders each year as the entire country of Canada!!!

kwoldtimer · #**2748** Posted **Jul 31, 2016, 11:53 AM**

D.C. has recorded 70 homicides so far this year.

softee · #**2749** Posted **Jul 31, 2016, 11:33 PM**

Toronto is at 40 homicides after a spurt of violence over the last few days in which 6 people were shot (1 fatally) and 5 were stabbed (1 fatally).

Things have obviously improved over the last 25-30 years. The southeastern part of DC was a war zone back then, with a lot of gun violence (gang and drug related). I was attending the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (in NW Washington) on a course, and we were warned not to venture any further east in the city than the US Supreme Court building (which is directly behind the Capitol).

Despite this, a friend of mine was nearly caught up in a random gun incident when he got off the metro stop closest to the AFIP.

Toronto is at 44 with 26 homicides by gun. Up from previous years but down by quite a bit from mid to late 2000's.

The weird thing is gun violence and shootings are way up compared to any year in history. So far Toronto has had 270 shootings with 370 victims. Even though it's still only August it has already surpassed any full calendar year in the past other than last year 2015. 2015 had 186 shootings at this point with 294 victims. The whole year ended with 282 shootings and 425 victims.
