Homicides are down in many U.S. cities
I am Sure that these reports are not setting well with Mayors of New York and Chicago.
"....While New York and Chicago saw an uptick in slayings last year, other cities including Detroit, Cleveland, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Los Angeles had fewer violent deaths in ’08 than ’07..."
"... Preliminary data in Chicago showed 508 homicides were reported in 2008, the first time the city had more than 500 murders since 2003 and about 15% more than the 442 homicides reported in 2007...."
I understand that these numbers are preliminary, but still, the gun controls in these cities is clearly not working.
Happy New Year
