And as you see on the news every night, murder continues at a torrid pace in the month of July. It is a social and statistical nightmare, and for the first six months of 2016, the number of murders was just about the same as it was in 2015. That's 74 murders nationally, when compared to 73 in the same period last year. Reports of Rape, robbery and theft were down in the first six months of 2016, but reports of burglary went up by 64.
And while murders were up, arrests were down from 36 to 24.
