Steve Sailer has calculated that in 46 of the 50 largest US cities, there was a 38.5 percent increase in murders in 2020. A recent National Commission of COVID-19 and Criminal Justice (NCCCJ) study of 34 cities put the annual increase at 30 percent. Until now, the greatest one-year increase in the United States was in 1968, when there were 12.7 percent more homicides than in the previous year.
Last month, I reported that the murder surge was continuing into January 2021. Now, even more data are available. Here are the increases in murder for several major cities:
