Windsor had 0 reported murders in 2010 for first time since 1963

It just doesn't have to be an international border. Look at Detroit and Grosse Pointe, Benton Harbor and St Joseph, etc.

OK, but do those places ever go an entire year with 0 murders?

Sure do. I don't believe St. Joseph recorded any murders over the entire decade, and Benton Harbor didn't have any murders in 2000, 2005, 2007 & 2008. But that's really not a surprise; the area is really too small to record many murders to begin with with twin cities not much above and below 10,000 folks, each. We're talking about a county with only 162,000 to begin with, so even one murder is too much. Still, I guess it's impressive when you consider Benton Harbor recorded 20 murders in 1994.

That said, their comparison to Windsor is kind of silly. Windsor is a substantial city with a legitimate metropolitan area, not two small towns that wouldn't even make a city between the two in a mostly rural county.

I think just a couple of years ago Grosse Pointe has its first murder in over 30 or 40 years.
