Lower than 5 years ago. I prefer broader statistics. I also noticed a flaw in the original commenter's statistics. It is not murder rate it is pure murders. London has more people than New York. Not by that much but enough to affect the statistics

Americans keep believing whatever they see on the net that confirms their confirmation bias!

It was one month, one month in many, many decades. Not to worry New York is back in the lead and by a long way.

You know what those limey bastards are doing about the spike in murders? Instead of suggesting the answer to gun shootings is more guns or in the case of stabbings more knives, they actually plan to arrest people with dangerous weapons to stop the murders before they happen.

It's such a genius plan I am surprised no one in America thought of it first...
