When I lived in Bay Ridge, there was only one homicide in all of 2003.

At some point, the drop in murders has to stop, unless former murderers take up performing CPR on people otherwise dying of natural causes.

This is very impressive. WHile this was happening, crime in London and Paris is rising.

As of yesterday morning, with barely more than a week to go in 2004, there had been 549 slayings in the city, down from 579 in the same period last year and from 2,245 in all of 1990, at the height of the crack epidemic.

That should read "at the height of the David Dinkins administration."

The chart misses upwards of 3000 murders committed in 2001.
