The Latest Crime Stats

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.

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.

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.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets.
