According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation the violent crime rate in the U.S. decreased in 2011. Murder went down -1.9 % overall and rape, robbery and aggregated assault fell -4.0 % since 2010. But they also said that their was an increase in murder in the Midwest (6 %) and in cities with a population less than 10,000 (18.0 %). Reading this was actually surprising, because I feel that we here a lot about violent crimes on the news on the web and on TV. I'm glad that the crime rate seems to be decreasing, but I'm wondering why murders increased in cities in the Midwest and in cities with a population less than 10,000.
After reading this article...
Is this a good thing or bad thing?? and Why do you think that although the crime rate is decreasing overall, that their is an increase in murder in the Midwest??
