Update on a few Canadian cities:

Toronto
Pop. 2.8 million
9 murders so far

Montréal
Pop. 2 million
4 murders so far

Ottawa
Pop. 950,000
8 murders so far

Pretty surprising for Ottawa. And all of them are individual cases. It's not as if there was one mass killing pushing up the numbers.

I made a mistake. Ottawa is actually at 9 so the same as Toronto.

St. Louis a city with a population of 305,000, has had 31 homicides as of 3/4/2018. Amazing how low the figures are for the Canadian cities.

If this rate continued (9 in the first two months, which would be fifty something for the year for a city of nearly a million), Ottawa would be close to or even above the US average murder rate (around 5 per 100,000).

And close to double the rate in NYC. If you had told me just a few years ago that Ottawa might have double the murder rate of NYC, I would have sent you to get your head examined.

But relatively few people in Ottawa seem particularly concerned.

Detroit YTD:

2015: 43
2016: 44
2017: 43
2018: 29

-14 (-32.5%) from 2017

This number includes two mass killings of which one was four murders and the other three, I believe, and unusual amount.

Well it depends on if people think this year is an outlier compared to past years, or if there is an increasing trend towards a higher rate the past few years.

If its part of a trend, that would be more worrying than if it's seen as one odd year.

There are ups and downs but violent crime has clearly been trending upwards in Ottawa in recent years.

Annual total murders in Ottawa have typically been in the 6-12 range for the past 40-50 years. With only very occasional blips such as 1995(?) when five (IIRC) people were killed in a workplace shooting in the garage of the city's transit company.

As recently as 2015 Ottawa had only 7 murders for the year.

In 2016 it shot up to around 25.

Then in 2017 it went back down a bit to around 15.

But the number of shootings continues to increase every year.

In 2016 I think there was one shooting a week in Ottawa, which is double or more what the traditional number was.

In 2017 in spite of the drop in murders shootings rose again to 75-80 for the year.

And 2018 is on pace for 50 murders and it's not even summer yet. (Winter is usually quieter on the homicide front as you can imagine.)

Supposedly in both February and March of this year, New York city had a lower per capita homicide rate than london, UK for the first time ever.

Personally, it was only a matter of time. Supposedly, NYC has gotten close to if not achieved the feat of beating Greater London in terms of being lower for overall violent crimes such as Robbery and Assault some time ago. Only Murder was higher by any real volume.

Not to get political, but since Khan was elected mayor it seems street crime has become a concern...

Lansing is still at zero for the first quarter, though the region (pop. 478,000) experienced it's first homicide on March 26 in neighboring Lansing Township.

nito · #**1758** Posted **Apr 5, 2018, 10:23 AM**

The murder rate in London rose above New York in February and March, driven by an historically abnormally high number of stabbings, although it is still below New York YTD and on a per capita basis.

^That is amazing considering New York had over 2,200 homicides in the early 1990.

muertecaza · #**1760** Posted **Apr 5, 2018, 8:16 PM**

Through the end of March, Phoenix is at 28 homicides, of which 1 was justifiable homicide, 3 were negligent homicide/manslaughter, and 3 are awaiting classification.

Even if we only take out the 1 justifiable homicide, that would put Phoenix on pace for 108, which would be the lowest number since 1988, when Phoenix had about half as many people, ~800,000.
