Murder rate or murder rate per capita? Please, please source stats on this kind of thing or we end up talking past each other.
Watch out for "exceptions" causing confusing numbers, e.g. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/jul/20/official-fig... : "The official figures [for 2017] also show a 26% rise to 723 in the homicide rate, which includes the 96 cases of manslaughter at Hillsborough in 1989."
This article also mentions consistently falling police numbers. The police and court services are stretched very thin.
