| [Fox News] Murders in the U.S. are becoming increasingly concentrated in densely populated urban centers in just a handful of counties, according to a newly released report. Some 73% of all murders in the U.S. took place in just 5% of counties while 52% of all counties reported no murders at all, according to a Crime Prevention Research Center study published this week and provided to Fox News Digital. "Murders in the United States occur in very small areas, and that concentration has increased since 2014," the study stated. "The concentration in 2020 is now greater than in 2010." The report comes as a violent crime wave that ballooned in 2020 still rages in some parts of the country. "Murder isn’t a nationwide problem," the study found. "It’s a problem in a small set of urban areas and even in those counties murders are concentrated in small areas inside them, and any solution must reduce those murders."
Cook County was followed by: Los Angeles County, 691 murders Harris County, Texas, 537 murders Philadelphia County, 495 murders New York City’s five counties, a combined 465 murders Wayne County, Michigan, 379 murders Shelby County, Tennessee, 311 murders Maricopa County, Arizona, 299 murders Baltimore City county, 291 murders Dallas County, 281 murders Marion County, Indiana, 234 murders | |
