Posted below are the latest crime stats for Jackson for the week ending September 2, 2014. The precinct reports are included as well.
Auto thefts shot up 40% compared to a year ago. House burglaries remained even while business burglaries rose 17%. However, the number of violent crimes fell although number of homicides jumped from 41 a year ago to 56*. Unfortunately, the number of homicides increased 55% since 2016. Carjackings fell 24% while armed robberies went down by 24%.
Kingfish note: JJ had to file a public records request for this report. The Lumumba administration stopped updating these on the city website last November.
*Yeah, I know. Add four more after this weekend.

Not a peep out of Fiona Ladd about transparency and all her "we'll hold Lumumba accountable" claptrap.
No and she damn sure made a big deal out of it when Melton did the same thing - as she was right to do - but then nary a peep when Lumumba the Elder removed them from the website.
This report is awful, it looks like something I did for a criminology course during my undergrad. The PD needs to imbue these numbers more meaning and context, and provide more granularity with respect to problem areas, etc. Precincts are too big of a geographical area to do any real analysis, and a one-year comparison is worthless.
Would be nice if someone would take this data and overlay it on Google maps to see what crime is happening where. Technically easy, yet practically impossible for the failing City of Jackson.
These stats of course don't include the felonies committed by Jacktown hood-rats in Madison County.
Believe the count is 61 total murders as of yesterday.
Could be made up data. I do believe any of it.
September 17, 2018 at 1:18 PM = 62
Top Years for Jackson Murder:
1995 = 92
1994 = 91
2018 = 87 (Projection based on current murder rate. Excludes justifiable homicides and/or police shootings)
1993 = 84
1991 = 76
2008 = 73
1996 = 67
What's the point of showing four year old stats (2014)? How about showing a trend, over time, like year for year for the past ten without all the subterfuge and clutter.
Figures can lie and liars can....well, anyway.
Just heard on the 6 p.m. news that Jackson is receiving a $120,000 grant from the National League of Cities to reduce the number of people in the city who go hungry every day. Maybe if its fine citizens spent more on food, and less on guns & ammunition, hunger wouldn't be a problem.
Check out the yearly per capita murder rates.
@6:24 Most of the people shooting other people already have their food paid for and did not purchase the firearm they used.
With every church on Capital Street turned into a flop house with dining privileges, what's the point of the city getting 120k to feed people?
But wait! The post says 'to reduce the number who go hungry'. Just what does that mean?
Assuming stats in 2:43 above are correct, is there any explanation for the sudden decrease in murders between 1995 (92 murders) and 1996 (67 murders)?
I don't know for certain, but I would guess the gangs killed so many other gang members in the early nineties that there were fewer targets by the mid to late nineties, hence the drop in murders. This year has reminded me of that time with multiple murders reported on the newscasts several times a week, but I don't hear so much discussion about gangs any more. I suppose gangs still exist as much as then.

Catering for city council meetings.
6:24, you are an idiot. The suggestion that people buy guns instead of food is ridiculous. Find another way to ridicule poor people instead of helping solve the problems associated with poverty.
68 homicides as of today, considering one of the victims was pregnant. We had six on Sunday alone.
