US murders concentrated in 5 percent of counties

The majority of murders in the U.S. occur in only a small percentage of counties across the country.

The Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) said in a new report that there is a “geographical concentration” of murders, with 68 percent of killings occurring in just 5 percent of the nation’s counties. The homicides also tend to be concentrated to relatively small pockets of those counties, the report said.

“It is stunning how concentrated murders are in the U.S.,” John Lott, president of the CPRC said to Fox News. “And we show that even within these counties, with all these high rates, murders are very concentrated.”

“These high [rate] counties have very large areas where there are no murders.”  SNIP

 

 

"""One of the most interesting findings in the report is that areas with the highest gun ownership rates have low murder rates.""

No incentive to change the behavior.. just look at the standards they're around (overwhelmingly leftist culture):

 

- Don't encourage families and structure, especially in minorities, but also of whites too

- Excuse bad/criminal behavior, victimize people who make dumb decisions rather than encouraging them not to do so

- Allow cultures that pejoratively see productive lifestyles as "being white" to flourish

- Presume any interaction between a person of two races, especially when the race of the person is white, to be the evil white person's fault

 

So I can only expect with the dog ####### culture the left has, that it will continue down this path.

They obviously did not take a look at my county in their findings. Maybe we're just a freakish anomaly.

John Lott and another of his A + B must mean more guns, less crime crud.

Can we just deport them all to a small island and hold the hunger games?  Or perhaps the purge?

You could call that murder map "Hillary Hot spots"

That sounds like an adult film that I have zero interest in seeing...nor does her husband

But the island would then tip over into the ocean.  Racist suggestion.

Completely misleading statement. There is no way to tell what the rate of "gun ownership" is in places like Chicago or others where murder rates are high because most of the guns are obtained illegally. It wouldn't be a stretch at all to say there are probably more illegally obtained guns in Chicago than there are in most places with high legal gun ownership.

Isn't that kinda the point though? To show that areas with the highest legal(I guess they should have put that in there) gun ownership have less murders, whereas areas where most of the guns are illegally possessed have more murders. I don't think they consider illegally held guns as "gun ownership".
