Toronto's homicide rate is now higher than New York's

[OneHungLo]

"Diversity is our strength"...does anyone here really believe that?

With just days to go before the halfway point of 2018, Toronto Police have confirmed at least 48 homicides within the city since January 1. That's more than double the 23 we'd seen last year at this point.

Five people were killed last weekend alone — four of them by guns — prompting both Police Chief Mark Saunders and Mayor John Tory to express public concern over a recent spike in shooting deaths.

"The incidents of gun violence we have seen in our city in the past few days are shocking and can in no way be accepted or brushed aside," said Mayor Tory late last month following a rash of high-profile killings.

"As mayor, I am troubled by every act of violence in our city regardless of where it happens."

I'm pretty sure Toronto is gonna break a murder record set in 1991 anyways (when it endured 89 murders). The earliest time when the city had 48 murders in 1991 was on July 1st. #TorontoStrong https://t.co/i8v78fIyiv

'Summer of the gun' part II or not, innocent people are being slayed on the streets of Toronto at random, en masse, and firearms are only part of the problem.

Ten people were killed in April when a rental van plowed through crowds of pedestrians on Yonge Street. Alek Minassian, 25, is facing ten counts of first-degree murder and 16 of attempted murder in connection with the incident.

Just last week, a 73-year-old man died after a stranger allegedly pushed him into the path of an oncoming subway train at Bloor-Yonge Station.

Then there's the horrifying case of alleged Toronto serial killer Bruce McArthur, who's been charged with eight counts of murder since January, when police found six sets of human remains in planters at a property he had landscaped.

It's been a heavy year for high-profile murders, and many in Toronto are growing concerned about what this means for our city's safety.

Several keen observers have taken note in recent weeks that Toronto's homicide rate is now higher than New York City's — and this does, indeed, appear to be the case.

The Toronto Police Service's public data portal shows 47 cases of homicide in 2018 as of Sunday night, when it was last updated.

University of Toronto Associate Professor of Criminology Scot Wortley, an expert in crime statistics, says that, based on an estimated population of 2.93 million, Toronto has a current crime rate of 1.67 per 100,000 people.

New York City, which has an estimated population of 8.62 million, had seen 130 homicides at the same point, according to the NYPD's CompStat crime data portal.

Wortley says this would put New York's homicide rate at 1.51 per 100,000 people.

"So yes — Toronto is slightly higher than NYC," says Wortley. "However, these homicide rates are far lower than other major U.S. and Canadian cities."

He highlights Chicago, Baltimore, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Winnipeg and Regina as just a few of examples of cities with more murders-per-capita than ours.

It's also of note that NYC has seen a marked decrease in its overall crime rate over the past few years. So... take this little factoid with a grain of salt.

And you don't have to freak out too much over the spike in shootings just yet, says Saunders.

"Historically, when it comes to gun play in the city, there are peaks and valleys, and when we hit those peaks everybody gets alarmed, and then it calms down," said the police chief in an interview on Monday.

"During those moments where the peaks are occurring, we have to remember what the patterns have been telling us, year after year."

NYC crime stats prove this. Diversity brings 85-90% more rape, murders and shootings. That doesn't seem strong.

cracker wants no consequences for 100-s of years of slavery and blacks needing military escort to school because the white cracker was so nice to everybody

keep setting your soon to be a minority crackers up with your racism, the bill always comes due cracker

The rate of school and mass shootings is higher in the USA. But do go on with your fucktard agenda snowflake

Nice try... if your child is enrolled in school the chances of them getting shot in a school shooting is astronomical. If you live in a “diverse” city the chances of you being a victim of a crime go through the roof.

Why would anyone want diversity when it brings 85-90% more rape, murder and violent assaults?

rather than breakdown by social race (how do mixed peeps fit into those stats?) I'd be more interested in breakdown by income and educational background. poverty and lack of upward mobility tends to result in some real nasty ish.

I remember the original Summer of the Gun, where a gang was going around shooting completely unaffiliated peeps in the hopes of instilling fear in a neighborhood in order to take it over. young Black men just gunned down, no one cared and it was assumed by most that they were 'just' gang members. the lives of Black men do not matter in TO, that is an unequivocal fact.

for a white-looking girl with cash, Toronto is actually an awesome city. I grew up there and never felt unsafe. and I lived in a neighborhood known as Crackdale.

what you are doing is taking a few isolated incidents and extrapolating that to smear an entire social race group when it's more about access to resources and options than one's amount of melanin.

if I was forced to live in North America I would choose Toronto. even over Miami. just too fucking cold

Yeah but explain the violent crime rape and murders. Appalachian towns are some of the whitest and poorest areas of the country and yet violent crimes, rapes and murders are rare. The crime rate throughout Appalachia is about two thirds the national average, and the rate of violent crime is half the national average.
