What is the rate of homicide from the past decade into the present in The Bronx that belongs to the 44th precinct? Does the statistics increased or decreased? There was a rising in homicide in the 44th precinct Bronx, NY but is still low than homicide trends in the United States. I thought that the homicide numbers in my precinct will be kind of high compared to the United States trends because of the crime that happens daily I was kind of surprised to look at this data because there is a lot of crime around my neighborhood, and I thought that it would be higher. I think that the advantage of official crime data is that you get to know how safe your neighborhood is compared to others and even the whole united states. 

This graph shows the homicide rate in New York.

Since the year 2000, homicides in the state of New York have decreased a lot, but as of 2020, we can see how homicides have increased again.

Homicide trend data in the United States compared to New york.

New York State’s murder rate has maintained a much lower murder rate compared to the entire United States. In this same graph, you can see how from 2020 the homicide rate has increased again both in the United States and in New York.

This graph compares the homicide data trend from 2000-2020 in the United States, New York, and the 44th precinct.

The graph and data table gives me a better understanding of how rates can change depending on what type of crime you are looking at, the years, and the places. By looking at the charts I understand better how homicides in New York are compared to the whole United States and is easier for to me look at a graph instead of looking at all the numbers in the data table.

I agree with my neighborhood data because I live in Grand Concourse and there are a lot of Hispanic people living in this area, I wonder if the rate that it shows in this data about the percentage of Hispanic people has increased in the past three years because is only showing the year 2019. I always walk around my neighborhood, and I can say that this is true there are a lot of Hispanic people, and there are even more than what the data says now in 2022.
