A new report from the Crime Prevention Research Center shows murders were concentrated in a handful of counties in 2020, when the U.S. murder rate spiked by nearly 30%.
Fox News' Bryan Llenas provides analysis amid the crime spike in Democrat cities.
"Murder isn’t a nationwide problem," the study found."It’s a problem in a small set of urban areas and even in those counties murders are concentrated in small areas inside them, and any solution must reduce those murders." The center, led by founder John Lott, divided counties into three different groups based on the amount of murders recorded: a majority of counties that experience no murder; a smaller group of counties that see low murder rates; and a"tiny set of counties where murders are very common."
