Chicago: Experiencing Shootings every week, Going Unnoticed

The average violent crime rate in the District of Columbia from 1960 through 1999 was 1,722 violent crimes per 100,000 population,[10] and violent crime, since peaking in the mid 1990s, decreased by 50% in the 1995–2010 period (with property crime having decreased by 49.8% during the same period). However, violent crime is still more than three times the national average of 403.6 reported offenses per 100,000 people in 2010.[11]

In the early 1990s, Washington, D.C., was known as the "murder capital",[12] experiencing 482 homicides in 1991.[2] The elevated crime levels were associated with the introduction of crack cocaine during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The crack was brought into Washington, D.C. by Colombian cartels and sold in drug markets such as "The Strip" (the largest in the city) located a few blocks north of the United States Capitol.[13] A quarter of juveniles with criminal charges in 1988 tested positive for drugs.[12]

After the 1991 peak there was a downward trend through to the late 1990s.[14] In 2000, 242 homicides occurred,[15] and the downward trend continued in the 2000s. In 2012, Washington, D.C. had only 92 homicides in 91 separate incidents, the lowest annual tally since 1963.[16] The Metropolitan Police Department's official tally is 88 homicides, but that number does not include four deaths that were ruled self-defense or justifiable homicide by citizen.[16] The cause of death listed on the four case records is homicide and MPD includes those cases in tallying homicide case closures at the end of the year.[16]

As Washington neighborhoods undergo gentrification, crime has been displaced further east. Crime in neighboring Prince George's County, Maryland, initially experienced an increase, but has recently witnessed steep declines as poorer residents moved out of the city into the nearby suburbs.[17] Crime has declined both in the District and the suburbs in recent years. There was an average of 11 robberies each day across the District of Columbia in 2006 which is far below the levels experienced in the 1990s.[18]

In 2008, 42 crimes in the District were characterized as hate crimes; over 70% of the reports classified as hate crimes were a result of a bias against the victim's perceived sexual orientation.[19] Those findings continue the trend from previous years, although the total number of hate crimes is down from 57 in 2006,[20] and 48 in 2005.[21] By 2012, the number of hate crimes reported were 81, and dropped to 70 in 2013.[22]

There's lots of hoops to jump through, but thousands of DC residents own handguns legally.

Did you just blame those poor oppressed refugees? You're a NAZI!

The Chicago shootings are a blot on the nation. The fact that they aren't getting more regular attention is a tragedy.

Loki, no one here has time for your well researched, fact based thoughfully reported article.

Man, miss us with all that good journalism crap. We need "news" that's going to validate our opinions. Not ask us think critically about important issues before us.

Y'all ain't figured it out, yet? Paniro is using you guys as a testing ground for his YouTube channel. If his topics gets traction here (i.e. cats here all worked up) then he knows he has something that could garner him more views on his channel.

Repeat after me: It's all about views, baby (sung in the rhythm of Puffy's, "It's All About The Benjamins). ...lol

This is true. Trolling and attention whoring is the new way to fame, talent be damned.
