Jackson has already seen 150 homicides as of Dec. 21, as compared to 130 the previous year.
Jackson, Mississippi has experienced its deadliest year on record in 2021, as rising gun violence has driven its homicide rate to become one of the worst in the nation, data shows.
Richard Rosenfeld, a criminologist at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. pointed out that Jackson is now “exceeding” levels seen in St. Louis, which was last year’s deadliest large city in the country, cataloging 87 homicides per 100,000 residents. The latest rise in killings comes as the police force has dwindled from a peak of more than 520 officers to about 290 . Though it is budgeted for 350, it has struggled to retain officers and attract new ones as the city faces a dire economic downturn and people are packing up and leaving in droves, CNN reported.
