- knappa 9y agoNot according to the article. (Well, they compare different time scales. So...maybe?) > While New York City's murder rate has gone down - decreasing by around 87 per cent since the 1990's - the Big Smoke’s has simultaneously surged. London's has increased by nearly 40 per cent in the space of three years alone - not including deaths caused by terrorist attacks.
- bjourne 9y ago"Not according to the article." The article might be sensationalist bullshit. The data point three years ago was a record low so a regress to the mean is not expected. The homicide rate was 2.1/100k in 2007 and 1.5/100k in 2017 so the overarching trending is still decreasing.
