Hi Jeff: With homicides up 50 percent from 2019-2023 per the major chiefs association, it's probably just regression to the mean. However, my daily media feed (which we can't rely on) tells me that homicides and overall violence continues to be a major concern for metro areas. Best, Len.
Did the FBI ever release their 2022 statistics? I'm on their Crime Data Explorer and it still only goes to 2021.
Hi Jeff. Don’t murders typically pick up in the summer?
They do, but there was summer in 2022 too! We're comparing year on year and rolling over 12 months.
