WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Violent crime in the United States dropped sharply in 2010 for the fourth straight year, but the murder rate in the Northeast soared, led by more homicides in Boston and New York, the FBI said on Monday.
Bucking the trend where crime rose when the economy soured, violent crime such as murder, rape and aggravated assault dropped 6 percent last year while unemployment remained stubbornly high. Property crime fell 2.7 percent from 2009, according to final statistics collected by the FBI from law enforcement agencies nationwide.
At the same time, the number of murders jumped substantially in major cities in the Northeast, including Boston, New York and New Jersey's largest city Newark, which all experienced double-digit increases, the statistics showed.

So murder isn't a violent crime then?
So basically murder isn't along the general trend of violent crime then?"Confusing unless you read the thread responses, I guess."
No but seriously, "Stock trades across the board took a nosedive today, while the price of GM went up 53%!" does not mean GM is not a valid stock. It just means it didn't match the general trend. Same idea here.
So basically murder isn't along the general trend of violent crime then?
No offense to anyone but I feel nobody is getting my point.Murder going up in the northeast doesn't significantly impact the national trend of violent crime going down.
