U. S. Attorney Barbara McQuade released her Office's Year-End 2014 report.

here is a factoid about Detroit - it has been discussed here earlier, but without the additional perspective that the Free Press offers today:

Detroit homicides, are at their lowest point since 1967 — the year the city witnessed the biggest riot in American history along with 281 homicides. Detroit saw 300 homicides in 2014, the fewest in decades, but that number doesn't tell the whole story when you factor in the city's hemorrhaging population.
In 1967, when Detroit's population was 1.5 million-plus, the homicide rate was 18 per 100,000 residents. Today, it's 44 homicides per 100,000 residents, based on the 688,701 population.
