The Police and Crime Stats

Considering Denver is part of the United States, it appears to have a normal amount of crime going on for the city. But the city itself classes the crime rate to be ‘above average’. This is due to the fact that Denver had a whopping 63 murders in 1999 alone, which is a massive amount for any city, let alone one with just over half a million people residing there.

In 1992 to 1995 they had a massive 331 murders, and it is well known to this day that they classed those three years that during which this horrendous crime happened, ‘Summer Violence’.
