Operation Anvil

Latest homicide map is linked here.

Overall goal: explain why the Americas have such low rates of successfully prosecuted murder compared to EU and APAC.



And why - as murder rates declining - are solved murder rates declining in the United States?

For a quick summary of the state of homicide within the United States:

  • http://gritsforbreakfast.blogspot.com/2010/06/homicide-clearance-rates-on-decline.html
  • http://anepigone.blogspot.com/2013/01/rates-of-unsolved-murder-by-state.html


To start: where are the murders?

Latest homicide map is linked here.

Next, I want to map stories to these cities. Later, add more data sources (eg, unsolved murder data).

Tamaulipas

Before the 2016 US Presidential Election, and for the fifth consecutive year, Texans reported immigration and security as their highest priorities ( San Antonio Express ). 2000 miles northwest of Texas, on the same international border, Californians ranked employment and the economy as principal concerns ( USC ). Many people might assume differences between the state governments and cultural histories of California and Texas, together 20% of the US population ( Census ), explain their wildly different perceptions of national issues related to Mexico and drugs.

The 2015 and  2016 Chicago shooting spree . Markers signify cities with high density of homicide. Details . The political economies of Great Lakes cities are historically linked.
