With that in mind, and also just out of a desire to make the information on the website easy to take in, I decided to keep justifiable homicides separate from the "normal" ones...if that makes sense. Same goes for the "suspicious" deaths. There were a couple (Hugues De La Plaza and John Daniel Schirra) where news accounts were conflicting on what their deaths were considered as, and personally they seem a little suspicious as well. So I kept them in the homicide list, but with an asterisk and explanation along with them, seeing as the SFPD didn't officially count them.SF Crimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15951723614478562877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79759279559762506.post-39256297363902621242008-01-03T16:47:00.000-08:002008-01-03T16:47:00.000-08:00Rah, do most jurisdictions count "justifiable homi...Rah, do most jurisdictions count "justifiable homicides" in their homicide counts? I know that the five killings by Oakland Police are counted in the 127 homicides for 2007. Why does San Francisco get to deduct their justifiable homicides from the ongoing homicide count? Does Richmond deduct their justifiable homicides from their ongoing count? How does San Jose count their homicides? How do most cities in the United States count their homicides. Shouldn't all jurisdiction have the same method? How can anyone compare homicide rates fairly if one city is deducting their justifiable homicides and others are not? I think you should keep the justifiable homicides in your count. That's the only way to compare homicide rates in the Bay Area. What San Francisco does should be illegal. Also, the San Francisco Chronicle, will on occasion, put up bar charts comparing yearly homicides between Oakland and San Francisco while never disclosing the discrepancies in the methodology in compiling these figures.
