How many murders were there in your town in 2007?

Inspired by abierman's recent thread, I'm curious about comparative regional violence around the world. Check some reliable source and let us know how many homicides there were in your locale in 2007

Toronto, Ontario, Canada - 84 homicides in 2007 sad

And looks like there have been 27 this year through the end of August.

The amount of rape, though, is staggering.


I can see statistics for my city here:

It's pretty amazing, all things considered.

According to The New York Times, fewer than 35 of the murders from 2007 analyzed by the end of November had been committed by strangers, a tiny statistic for a city of more than eight million people.

The vast majority of the killings involved disputes between family members, criminals or rival drug gangs.

Thank you I set this address to my favorites. I live right now the street (1 mile) from Downtown Mainstreet Mesa... that picture where the statue is, well all the Downtown Mesa photos and also... the well known Mormon Temple. Do you think pepper spray will protect me in my hood?

nod Yes, it is good. Shootings (mainly drug related) are on the increase, but it's still fairly low comparatively.
