yeah, if the data in SIGSEGV's link is accurate, then milwaukee and KC are bucking the general downward homicide trend across the major midwest cities this year:
YOY homicide change (city proper):
milwaukee:
+22.5%
kansas city:
+11.7%
minneapolis:
-4.6%
cleveland:
-12.2%
cincinnati:
-12.9%
detroit:
-13.6%
chicago:
-15.1%
st. louis:
-17.9%
indianapolis:
-19.1%
columbus:
-37.6%
caveat: despite the downward trend this year, most of these cities still have shamefully high homicide rates.
although all of these cities should be taking notes from columbus right now to find out what they're doing and why it's working.
