Study: Baltimore’s Murder Rate Outpaces Central America’s Most Dangerous Countries

The murder rate of Baltimore, Maryland, is set to continue to be higher than Central America’s most dangerous countries, analysis finds.

Research by Princeton Policy Advisors’ Steven Kopits reveals that Baltimore has long had a higher murder rate than the most crime-ridden nations of Central America, where thousands of migrants flee from every year.

Based on the current rate of murders in Baltimore, Kopits projects that Baltimore’s murder rate for 2019 will come in at about 56 murders per 100,000 people — making it more than twice as dangerous as the country of Guatemala.

To date, there have been nearly 200 murders in Baltimore since the beginning of the year.

Since the riots of 1968, Baltimore has continued its decline. That pretty much coincides with their segregation of governance. Maybe they should try electing white candidates again and hope they can turn things around.

First, the Baltimore Mayor is buying computer games for her kids using gift cards for "the poor". Next the new mayor is doing money laundering using her Healthy Holly books for children. Is there anything sacred from these CROOKS?

Apples and oranges, comparing the crime rates of individual cities to entire countries is bad science. San Salvador’s murder rate is higher than Baltimore, as is the murder rate of Tegucigalpa.
