A study says homicide rates are down. But 2015 ratesā€”especially for gun violenceā€”are very different.

Nationwide Homicide Spike Hits Small Connecticut Capital City
Since 1960, U.S. homicide rates have been fallingā€”that is, until this year. Meanwhile, intimate-partner violence and child abuse affect up to 12 million and 10 million Americans, respectively, according to a survey released Tuesday in JAMA. Taken together, it paints a bleak picture for Americansā€™ safety, and it has violence prevention scholars trying to figure out what led to the changesā€”and when.

At the annual meeting of the Major Cities Chiefs Association on Monday, police chiefs grappled with the fact that some cities are seeing a 50% increase in murders compared with last year. Washington Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy Lanier pointed to the nationā€™s capital as an example: This time last year, D.C. had 69 homicides; this year, D.C. has seen at 87 homicides. Nearby Baltimore tallied 42 homicides in May alone, with 45 in July. And in Chicago, there have been 243 homicides this year so farā€”a 20% spike from last year.

Until 2012, ā€œwe saw decreases for homicide and aggravated assault,ā€ says Dr. Debra Houry, a co-author of the JAMA study who works with the CDCā€™s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. ā€œItā€™s promising because it shows that violence is preventable.ā€

Homicide rates in 1980 stood at 10.7 per 100,000; by 2013, theyā€™d been cut in half. Aggravated assault saw a similar halving of incidences between 1992 and 2012.

But Andrew Papachristos, a professor of sociology at Yale and a criminal justice expert who has focused much of his research on Chicagoā€™s gang and gun violence, says that JAMAā€˜s findings may not offer a nuanced enough picture of whatā€™s going on in the United States, because it looks at general trends across the country. While on average crime might have fallen until to this year, some cities, such as Chicago and Milwaukee, are still facing severe problems with violence, particularly in certain areas of the city. Indeed, within cities, ā€œthe rates of violence across neighborhoods can be exponentially higher in certain areas and almost zero in others,ā€ he says.

Clearly need to stick more people in prison. If 700 people per 100,000 wasn't enough, maybe they should make it 14,000. I mean, the US isn't even top of the international stick people in prison statistics, there's one country ahead. You'll never be the best country in the world without the highest statistics.

They need to release minor drug offenders to make room for the real criminals.

Or they need to stop making minor drug offenders criminals in the first place. Who cares what someone puts in their own body?

That kind of goes without saying...
We wouldnt want to do like we do with illegals with catch and release,that'd be kinda pointless.
