Clark County Murders Down Again

While Chicago's murder numbers are skyrocketing and Clark County/Las Vegas's are declining.
From the LVRJ: How do you prevent a murder before it happens?
Barring any achievements in science fiction's thought-crime technology, there doesn't seem to be a blanket answer.
But in the past two years, the Metropolitan Police Department has seen a large drop in homicides. It attributes the decline to a new emphasis on intelligence-led policing, which is based on determining risk and identifying potential victims before they're killed.
Through Thursday, the department investigated 82 homicides, the last being the kidnapping and killing of 10-year-old Jade Morris.
That's down from 86 homicides last year, and a huge drop from the first decade of the new millennium. From 2001 to 2010, the department never had fewer than 100 homicides and averaged 137 per year.
"Last year was what we thought would be a historic low," said Capt. Chris Jones, who took over the Robbery/Homicide Bureau this year. "We're looking to push it down even further."
The 168 homicides in the past 24 months were 11 fewer than the 157 homicides in 2006, a record year for the agency http://www.lvrj.com/news/homicides-on-decline-in-clark-county-185144691.html
While Clark County is run by Democrats, they tend to be conservative Democrats who deal with problems as opposed to Chicago, who just whine and complain.
And the gun laws in Clark County are the exact opposite of Chicago, where gun ownership is not discouraged, unlike Chicago.
(Metro has the City of Las Vegas and unincorporated areas of Clark County along with some smaller cities like Laughlin, Moapa, Overton etc.  It doesn't include the Cities of North Las Vegas and Henderson and maybe Mesquite.  Even if you include the murders of the other cities, you probably around 95 total murders in Clark County, if not fewer)
