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  Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

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: http://www.ci.minneapolis...istics.asp |

Yow! 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. | |

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? [Edited 9/24/08 8:48am] | |

How about a kick in the nuts.  I still get paranoid. I am working on this. But like you said... one can never let their guards down and I don't. | |

OMG!! Guess what?!! I took my first subway ride of my adult life this past Sunday.  Some crazy fool was on there and he said that he loves women of all colors and that he's a male lesbian. He also said that if we find an abandoned bag on the floor, to give it to him 'cause it might have cash or weed in it. | |
