Oahu's streets safer, at least statistically
« on: September 22, 2011, 11:10:15 AM »
According to Hawaii News Now and the AG's office, crime is down except for murder. Nothing really to do with guns except that registrations were at an all time high. Maybe this actually IS a datapoint that shows that more guns = less crime :)

While it doesn't show more guns is less crime.... it does show more guns is not MORE crime.

Interesting. The new FBI stats out show a nationwide decrease in a number of catagories. But, when I read the numbers I saw:

Violent crimes - +.07%
Murder - +4.3%
Rape - -5.2%
Robbery - +2.3%
Agg. Assault - +0.9%
Property crime - -5.1%

These numbers are from Hawaii and are available in the FBI report http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2011...1/crime_091911
