I saw a great article on CNBC about scientific reasons behind the 2020 and 2021 increases in murders in the US. It says there seems to be an overall decrease happening this year. There's a link to a great chart that shows most (if not all) large cities in the country and their rates from last year to this year. There are definitely some jaw-dropping increases in there; but, overall, the rate is down from last year. Some shocking increases I saw were:
Colorado Springs
2021 - 13
2022 - 26
Increase - 100.00%
Milwaukee
2021 - 107
2022 - 145
Increase - 35.51%
New Orleans
2021 - 132
2022 - 168
Increase - 27.27%
