D.C. murder rate on pace to be lowest since the 1960s
October 4, 2011 - 09:12 am
Perhaps it was the heat that caused people to refrain from killing each other, but hey, whatever works. The D.C. murder rate for 2011 is on track to be 108 — significantly lower than last year's 132, and almost as low as in 1963, when the rate was below 100. Police attribute the continuing downward trend to better technology and a focus on people suspected to be gang members, instead of a geographic focus. Let's hope we didn't just jinx it.
