FEWER MURDERS IN ALBUQUERQUE LAST YEAR … IN FACT, THE FEWEST SINCE 1990. THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS THE LATEST FIGURES FROM APD SHOW POLICE INVESTIGATED 28 HOMICIDES IN 2014. BUT IT'S NOT CLEAR WHY THE NUMBERS ARE DOWN.
OFFICIALS TELL THE JOURNAL IT COULD BE DUE TO FACTORS SUCH AS GOOD POLICE WORK … BETTER MEDICAL CARE … SUCCESSFUL SOCIAL PROGRAMS … OR THAT THE BODIES WERE FOUND OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS.
