Podcasts about murder rate

The Marc Cox Morning Show brings you everything St. Louis needs to know this Friday morning — and it is a packed house. A bombshell source tells Dan Buck that St. Louis County Executive Sam Page — facing two felonies and two misdemeanors — may hand in his resignation today as part of a plea deal, and good riddance. A Six Flags Skyscreamer malfunction left four people — including two children — dangling 150 feet in the air for two and a half hours. Senator Eric Schmidt's diving catch at the Congressional baseball game made ESPN's Top 10. And the St. Louis murder rate is on pace to blow past 150 kills before year's end — and the city barely blinks. The St. Louis Morning Brief on the Marc Cox Morning Show — because somebody has to tell you what's really happening in your own backyard.

This week, we're looking at a sorely undercovered national story: the murder rate is declining at an incredible rate. At the same time, the suicide rate is headed the other way. To explore why that divergence has happened, we've got Pew Research Center's John Gramlich on the show to discuss the details. He wrote a piece looking at the most recent FBI and CDC data on gun murder and suicide. He said the results are remarkable. The murder rate is plummeting. It's back to pre-pandemic levels and shows no sign of leveling off. Gramlich said the decline is incredible and rare. He also described how the role of guns in murder has changed over time as well. The post-pandemic data shows that the portion of guns used in murders has shifted significantly. The same is true for the portion of gun deaths that are due to suicides rather than murders. Largely, Gramlich noted, because murders have fallen substantially while suicides have gone up a bit. Even though the gun suicide rate didn't climb dramatically, as the gun murder rate did in 2020, it has slowly climbed to near-record rates. Meanwhile, Gramlich said crime data from sources beyond the FBI and CDC indicate the gun murder rate is nearing record lows. Here's a link to John's piece: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2026/04/28/what-the-data-says-about-gun-deaths-in-the-us/Special Guest: John Gramlich.

In January 2026, the Council on Criminal Justice (CCJ) released a report finding that murders and violent crimes in the United States decreased significantly in 2025. According to the report, the murder rate in 35 large U.S. cities fell 21% last year — the biggest one-year drop ever — to what could be its lowest level since 1900. Furthermore, 11 of 13 types of violent crime tracked by CCJ all decreased in 2025; drug crimes increased by 7% while the rate of sexual crimes remained unchanged.Ad-free podcasts are here!To listen to this podcast ad-free, and to enjoy our subscriber only premium content, go to ReadTangle.com to sign up!Our recent video.As the Trump administration pursues its immigration agenda, many federal agents from different law enforcement agencies have been reassigned to help with new initiatives.

South Africa's murder rate of 45 people per 100,000 is more than 10 times higher than the average murder rate of other G20 countries. With the country preparing to host the 2025 G20 Summit this weekend, this stark figure has drawn intense international attention. While the summit is meant to spotlight global cooperation and policy priorities, South Africa's violent crime levels have risen to the forefront of global conversation. The country, currently holding the G20 presidency, is preparing to welcome delegates for discussions on inclusive economic growth, industrialisation, employment, and reducing inequality. Conversations will also focus on ensuring food security and utilising Artificial Intelligence and innovation for sustainable development. Listen to the full conversation...

PREVIEW The conversation focuses on President Claudia Sheinbaum's actions against the cartels amid US pressure, following an unacceptable murder rate, including the recent killing of the ninth mayor since she became president. Sheinbaum has cooperated with Donald Trump, allowing unarmed US surveillance flights and hiring credible security official García Haruch. A major challenge is that her party, Morena, is widely believed to be complicit with the cartels, following López Obrador's failed policy of appeasement. Guest: Mary Anastasia O'Grady. 1931

Join Jim and Greg for Monday's 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the steep drop in violent crime in Baltimore, President Trump's new trade deal with the European Union, and a bizarre lawsuit blaming the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels for terrorizing a cat in its final days.First, they examine the dramatic decrease in Baltimore's murder rate since voters ousted soft-on-crime prosecutor Marilyn Mosby in the 2022 Democratic primary. Her replacement, Ivan Bates, pledged a return to aggressive prosecutions, and the numbers show it's working. Under Mosby, there were 334 murders in 2022. Last year, the total dropped to 202, and the city has recorded just 68 homicides so far in 2024. Jim and Greg argue it's no mystery what's driving the improvement.Next, they dissect President Trump's trade agreement with the European Union, which includes lowered tariffs and major commitments from Europe to buy U.S. energy and weapons. Jim says this deal is a significant relief given what would have happened later this week without a deal. But he's still concerned that American consumers will end up paying more for a lot of things.Finally, they lambaste the crazy cat lady, who decided to sue the Blue Angels for disturbing the final days of her cat, as it died from heart disease. Jim is flabbergasted that anyone could blame the progression of heart disease on noise from planes. He's also greatly annoyed that the lady is referred to as that cat's "human mother" in news reports.Please visit our great sponsors:No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.

This week, we're checking back in on one of the biggest stories of the year: the murder rate's record decline. So, we've got the nation's most widely-cited crime data analyst on the show to explain what's going on. Jeff Asher of AH Datalytics runs a crime database that updates weekly, but manages to track closely to the FBI's reports. However, he's able to report crime trends months or even years before the FBI. Asher said the latest news is very good. Murder is on a record decline as we move through the halfway point of 2025. Asher said the murder decline isn't just happening at a record pace, but it's likely to end at a record low as well. He noted the decline is nationwide and puts some cities below the raw number of murders seen in previous decades, not just the murder per capita rate. Asher also analyzed some of the common reasons offered up for why murder has fallen, and said it's not easy to explain. But he also gives his preferred theory. Special Guest: Jeff Asher.

This week, we're talking about some good news. Some very good news, actually. The murder rate, which has been on the decline for a couple of years now, is on pace to hit a record low. That's what the early data collected by Jeff Asher's AH Datalytics indicates. Asher joins the show to break down the numbers he's seeing so far. He said the murder rate surged during the pandemic, but it has already fallen back to those levels and kept dropping further. While the FBI's murder data for 2025 won't be out for nearly a year, Asher collects crime data from many of the same sources. He said his data shows a huge early decline in the murder rate that would equate to an all-time low if sustained. He cautioned that the decline is likely to slow as the year progresses, but it should still hit a record. Special Guest: Jeff Asher.

Jackson, Mississippi is sitting at 22 homicides as of May 13th 2025, they were at 44 this time last year so they're down 50% year over year. Who should get the credit for this accomplishment?

For our Wednesday politics episode, District Attorney Larry Krasner visits City Cast Philly to make his case for why he deserves a third term as the city's chief prosecutor. He touts the lowest murder rate in a half-century, compares his opponent to Donald Trump, tells his side of why there hasn't been a debate in the race, talks about the Eagles' visit to the White House, discusses the role of George Soros' money in his campaigns, analyzes the mayor's “work-in-progress” plan in Kensington, and defends himself from criticism that he doesn't work well with other elements of law enforcement.

This week, we're looking at crime data and the unprecedented drop in the murder rate. That's why we have Jeff Asher from AH Datalytics back on the show. He has been following and reporting crime data for decades, and he explains how dramatic the downturn in murder is compared to the incredible spike we saw just a few years ago. He said 2023 saw a record drop in murder, and 2024 is on pace to see the same. Asher discussed how crime stats are calculated, addressed some of the critiques of them, and explained why he believes murder data is especially trustworthy this year. He also noted violent crime and property crime haven't followed murder. While they, too, have fallen in recent years, they also never saw the same kind of horrendous spike that murder did in 2020 and 2021. Special Guest: Jeff Asher.

When Nelson Mandela and the ANC delivered South Africa from Apartheid in the 90s, hopes were high that the country could become a beacon of freedom and fairness. A generation later, those dreams lie in tatters. Elites have plundered state coffers to the tune of billions, mines have been taken over by illegal “chancers,” and the ghettoes of South Africa's largest city, Cape Town, are suffering levels of violence unseen since segregation. Left with few opportunities, corrupt cops and hundreds of gangs, locals have turned to private security firms, the country's new boom trade. Others have thrown up roadblocks and christened whip-wielding vigilante groups, as the country descends into ever more hellish levels of organized crime.

Everyone loves a good counternarrative, especially when the prevailing narrative is a dire one and the counter offers credible reasons for hope – backed by data that bears up to scrutiny. In this episode, writer Troy Aidan Sambajon talks with host Clay Collins about a crime-stat story that became something more. It's a validation – with some big caveats – of community policing, community agency, and the central ingredient: a willingness to try building trust.

The murder rate is falling again, and mass shootings have been absent so far this year. This is good news, but it's also a bit confusing. Why is the murder rate dropping after several years of increasing? Is the same effect happening with mass shootings? Does the data show the two are connected? That's why we've got data analyst Jeff Asher back on the show. He runs AH Datalytics and collects his own crime statistics. He joined us last year when his crime data suggested 2023 would see a huge downturn in murder across the country. He was right. This year, he's seeing an even larger decline. Mass shootings are down, too. Whatever definition you use for the awful phenomenon, and we discuss the pros and cons of the different ones out there, the downtrend is interesting--especially since it now appears to track with overall murder. Jeff does his best to explain why these trends are happening and look forward, though he emphasizes the future is impossible to predict. Special Guest: Jeff Asher.
