Jacksonville Crime Rates Show that Homicides in Jacksonville, Florida are Decreasing

Yesterday, Jacksonville news reports stated that the Jacksonville homicide rate dropped during the year of 2010. In fact, “the State Attorney’s Office said there were less homicides in the year 2010 than in decades. Investigators there said there were 99 homicides in 2010 in Jacksonville.” However, some organizations, such as Hurting Families with Children in Crime, question the accuracy of the Jacksonville crime statistics. It appears that the North and the Northwest sections of Jacksonville are not seeing a decrease in crime.
