http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017...ercent-counties.html The Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) said in a new report that there is a “geographical concentration” of murders, with 68 percent of killings occurring in just 5 percent of the nation’s counties. The homicides also tend to be concentrated to relatively small pockets of those counties More than half of last year’s murders occurred in only 2 percent of the nation’s counties One of the most interesting findings in the report is that areas with the highest gun ownership rates have low murder rates.  above pic is  blue spikes are where Clinton had the highest number of votes over Donald Trump (pic not in linked article/ from other source)  yellow circles show concentration of illegal aliens (pic not in linked article / from other source) | ||

What a shock, the biggest cities have the highest murder rates. In other news, water is wet. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Now for the real shocker, I wonder what the ethnic make up is of those small handful of counties?

At the OP link there is a set of slides w more info "The 2014 US murder rate was 4.4 per 100,000 people" "If the worst 5% of counties are removed, the US murder rate would be 2.56 per 100,000." ********************** "What a shock, the biggest cities have the highest murder rates" Why aren't you shocked ? or at least curious why. example: US murder rate per 100,000 pop = 4.4 Baltimore murder rate per 100,000 pop = 50 | |||

King and Pierce counties here in WA state ... statistics are increasing as the sanctuary city, homeless and addicts safe places and those who want which they don't have, increase in numbers. 8 years ago ... not so much We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid." ~ Benjamin Franklin.

Not really from Vienna |
Is the killing of a miscreant in justifiable self-defense considered a murder? Murder is such an ugly term. | |||

I'd like to suggest that the problem isn't guns, its Democrats with guns. Bob Carpe Scrotum | |||

Yes I found that offensive. I prefer demised or deadified. Or maybe third world language such as liquidated, eliminated or disappeared. That would please me. We just need to "REACH OUT MORE." | |||

Here's the page to this research on Lott's website, Crime Prevention Research Center: Murders In U.S. Very Concentrated: 54% Of U.S. Counties In 2014 Had Zero Murders, 2% Of Counties Have 51% Of The Murders Here's a higher resolution version of Lott's map (Very Large Image: 6,900 x 5,025 pixels; 8.8 MB): Map: U.S. Murders by County My commentary on this. While this is enlightening in some ways, it's not surprising. I'm somewhat disappointed in Lott, in that, he presents the raw murder numbers in this report/map, and not the murder rates (per population) in each county. Had he done the latter, more valid comparisons could have been done. Loyalty Above All Else, Except Honor ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||
