The 21st Century Red State Murder Crisis
https://www.thirdway.org/report/the-21st-century-red-state-murder-crisis
Takeaways:
The red state murder rate was 33% higher than the blue state murder rate in both 2021 and 2022.
2022 was the 23rd consecutive year that murder plagued Trump-voting states at far higher levels than Biden-voting states.
8 out of the 10 states with the highest murder rates in 2022 voted for Donald Trump in both 2016 and 2020.
From 2000 to 2022, the average red state murder rate was 24% higher than the average blue state murder rate.
Red states like Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama are America’s murder capitals and have had the highest three murder rates for 15 of the last 23 years.
The excuse that sky high red state murder rates are because of their blue cities is without merit. Even after removing the county with the largest city from red states, and not from blue states, red state murder rates were still 20% higher in 2021 and 16% higher in 2022.
