Subject: Re: U.S. murder rate approaches a record low
Hhmmm. You neglected to include this:

Even a record-low homicide rate — 4.1 or even 4.0 per 100,000 — would still be double Canada's rate of 1.9.

"We're still talking about 13- or 14-thousand murders," crime data analyst Asher says. "This is not a solved problem."

Nope. It wouldn't be a solved problem if it matched Canada's.

The reduction is good news, though, right? Right?
