Gun Homicide Rates Up 31 Percent Since Stand Your Ground (FL)

[jmg257]

7. Strange - homicides up, even non-gun homicides(???), but most crime rates down...

Burglary, aggravated assault, rape, robbery, Violent Crime, larceny, vehicle theft are all down.
Murder rates seem pretty consistent.

Weird they say it has resulted in "far more harm" despite this, and without saying whether the homicides are justified or not. And why non-gun killings increased as well.


Interesting stats:
"The number of gun deaths in Florida is up across the board, but the increases are highest among whites aged 20 to 34."

"Importantly, the monthly homicide rate among African-Americans increased 32 percent, from 36 deaths each month to 48."
I wonder how that compares with Chicago.
