Murder rates have risen in most large American cities this year, according to a Wall Street Journal survey of America’s largest police forces.
Of the 20 police departments the Wall Street Journal surveyed, 16 of reported a rise in homicides from the previous year. Other types of crime, including rape and robberies have also risen in many cities. Chicago saw the most dramatic jump in homicide rates this year. There were 720 murders, marking a 56% increase from 2015. Other cities that saw significant increases include San Antonio, Las Vegas, and Memphis.
As the Wall Street Journal reports, violent crime among civilians have skyrocketed in the wake of deadly confrontations between young black men and police officers. This trend has been observed by a number of law-enforcement experts since 2014, when Black Lives Matter protests erupted in Ferguson, Missouri.
And the crime spike in Chicago this year? It’s partially attributable to the November 2015 wave of Black Lives Matter inspired protests. After a video was released of a white officer shooting a black 17-year old to death, not only did protests spike, but so did violent crime and murders.
The link between Black Lives Matter protests and violent crime isn’t fully understood, but some law enforcement professionals believe the protests may “embolden criminals” and reduce civilian trust in law-enforcement.
