Capt.Storm Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) it's more then two...eight so far this year. For the second time this week and the eighth time this year, police in the Rochester region discovered a body that had been set on fire — and all of the crimes remain unsolved. Officials from various police agencies have said they have found no evidence to suggest the cases are linked, but the number of cases itself is unusual: http://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2016/07/06/eight-burned-bodies-found-region-year/86747176/ Edited July 7, 2016 by Capt.Storm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt.Storm Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Rochester is only a mid size city but with big city asperations.. The Rochester area's four mass shootings in 2015 put Monroe County at the top of the list of upstate regions, according to data fromshootingtracker.com. Brooklyn, with its five mass shootings in which five people died and 25 were wounded, is the only one of New York City's boroughs or any other region of the state to challenge Rochester's four. Rochester's mass shootings resulted in six dead and 18 people injured — the highest number of dead for any community in the state. At the same time, Rochester's overall homicide rate in 2015 is not abnormally high. And "mass shooting" is in the eyes of the beholder. The website defines a mass shooting as "four or more people shot in one event." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt.Storm Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) Rochester: made for murder? What makes our homicide rate so high By Krestia DeGeorge and Mary Anna Towler click to flip through (3) email print add to favorites comments First of an occasional series. Last week, a grand jury indicted three Rochester men in connection with the March 9 murder of Herschel Scriven, a young minister and church organist, in southwest Rochester. The night before the Scriven indictments, two men were shot in northeast Rochester. On Sunday morning, two others were shot in the same area of the city, and a third was fired at as he drove his car. None of those shootings were fatal, but the repetition underscores the severity of Rochester's violent-crime problem. And summer is still two months away. This is the state of affairs Chief David Moore inherited when he took the helm of the city's police department on Monday. We all know the stories. And we know the demographics --- of murderers and victims. They are young, they are male, and they are black. One of the men indicted in the Herschel Scriven murder is 20 years old. The other two are 19. Scriven was 23. All are African Americans. Rochester is not the murder capital of the country. But it does have the highest rate, per capita, in New YorkState. Among the 40 cities with populations between 180,000 and 250,000, says RIT criminologist John Klofas, Rochester's probably in the top four in homicides. And, says Klofas, "if you look at New YorkState, Rochester is almost always the leading city for homicides." Last year, Rochester's murder rate was about 25 per 100,000 people, says Klofas. New York City's rate: less than 6 per 100,000. Klofas cautions that crime statistics are tricky. The national homicide rate, for instance, is about 6 per 100,000, but the national figures combine cities, suburbs, and rural areas. Even with New York City, "you've got to be careful making these kinds of comparisons," says Klofas, because it includes wealthy neighborhoods, poor neighborhoods, suburbanized neighborhoods. Still, such statistics are useful "to get a handle on where we stand overall," he says. "If you look at any 10-year period, we average somewhere around 50 homicides a year here, which is high."

John Klofas was one of my professors at RIT. Smart guy too. And it's Dr. John Klofas. Edited July 7, 2016 by Kivalo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
