Wretched fucking PowerPoint/PDF document
You can see this info all pretty-like, with the right plugin/program, at the Statistics and Data page of the Minneapolis Police Department. I'd been wondering what the other MPD was I'd been thinking of.
Most Active Gangs:Gangster Disciples
Vice Lords
Shotgun Crips
Family Mob
Rollin' 30's Bloods
Vatos Locos
Sureno 13
La 213 18's
Also, for those of you considering the cost of living in various areas:
Crack cocaine $20 - $25 in MPLS
**Chicago or Detroit $5 - $10
Grapes are more expensive too.
And as for the always good for a laugh homicide figures:
- 19 Homicides through June 5th [2002]
- 18 of 19 victims African American
- 17 of 19 suspects African American
- 17 of 19 homicides gang or drug related (other 2 domestics)
- 8 victims listed in SIP as having drug arrests (4 during drug court era)
Obviously, I'm taking those late night/early morning strolls in the wrong neighborhoods. Or I need to start wearing the right colors. Or the wrong colors, rather.
Oh yeah, one other little stat I wish my high school guidance counselor had mentioned:
LIFE EXPECTANCY OF A GANG MEMBER
24 YEARS
NATIONAL AVERAGE
No, can't really think of anything I would have missed in the last few years. . .
I should explain that homicide comment.
Minneapolis stats are good for a laugh in comparison to Chicago, anyway. The figure for June was 65.
No, not year-to-date. That was 277. The figure for June alone was 65.
The next Minnesotan I hear complaining about crime gets to help make their numbers a bit more impressive.
Here's a thought, guys: if you don't want somebody stealing shit out your car, try locking the car door. You might even go a step further, and don't leave things in plain sight. Wacky ideas, I know.
