Here are the latest figures for all police areas in England and Wales for the year to September 2017.

Greater Manchester had the highest rate, 23 of those 83 homicides were a one-off event at the Ariana Grande concert bombing but even without those it's still 60 homicides in the year, a rate of just over 2/100k. A few years ago Greater Manchester was getting annual numbers in the 25-45 range from 2009-2016 so there's an uptick there, numbers in the 50s and 60s annually were last seen in the early to mid 2000s.

Liverpool and Birmingham also seem to have seen increases in the past year or two. Merseyside was mostly getting annual homicides in the 15-20 range and West Midlands in the 25-35 range back in 2013-2016.

With London also seeing rising rates at the moment it seems several of the larger cities are seeing increasing trends after the 40-year lows seem in 2013-2015. Homicide rates are still below where they were 10-25 years ago though.

The local figures can be pretty volatile especially for the smaller police areas (Warwickshire and North Wales for example seem to have had a bad 12 months but next year might well be down towards the bottom of the list if they just see 6 or 7 fewer homicides)

Scotland used to have a significantly higher homicide rate than England /Wales but in 2017 they had 64 homicides, a rate of 1.2/100k, not very different from England. Northern Ireland had 24 homicides in the year to Feb 2018, a rate of 1.33/100k.

Columbus is at 25 as of last night. Make that 26 as of this morning.

tablemtn · #**1766** Posted **Apr 26, 2018, 10:40 PM**

I haven't been tracking things as closely this year, but I believe Portland is still at 6 murders for the year. But there have also been several more homicides, at least 3, which were not ruled as murders. The local transient/criminal population seems to keep running into trouble due to bad behavior that leads to armed responses by police/bystanders.

Vancouver currently has 8:

Assault victim dies after being found outside Parq Casino

There is also a missing person's case from earlier in the year which is probably #9, but isn't officially so.

jimmytwoeyes · #**1767** Posted **May 7, 2018, 12:47 PM**

St. Louis homicides stood at 54 as of May 2, 2018.

Gresto · #**1768** Posted **May 8, 2018, 8:49 PM**

Toronto appears to have had 28 murders so far this year, compared to 18 at this time last year, however when one removes the 10 victims of the sidewalk van psycho, it's right in line with last year's numbers.

Can someone from NYC give us an update for NYC.
London, UK is at 67.

I know NYC had 55 at the end of March and 22 in April.

http://www1.nyc.gov/site/nypd/news/p...-april-2018#/0

(21 in March, 14 in February, 20 in January)

So, NYC was at 77 on April 30.

Wow, London with over 100 muders already. It is almost as dangeous as Philadelphia, and two times as dangerous as Toronto. I didn't realize things were that bad there.

Relative to the population?

Philly has like 20 murders this year? I seriously doubt it. London is pretty safe.

I always think it's weird to use murders as a proxy for safety anyways. Unless you associate with those involved in illegal activities, who is really worried about getting murdered, when visiting somewhere like Detroit or New Orleans? You worry more about elevated instances of day-to-day crime, like larceny or assault.

aquablue · #**1780** Posted **May 29, 2018, 9:54 AM**

London is huge. Its murder RATE is far lower than these smaller cities like Philly and Chicago.

When I've been in London on vacation, the streets in the West End always felt pretty safe. I'd feel safer there compared to Downtown Chicago, Downtown DC, etc. There are far fewer guns on the street.
