There are the anecdotal instances that Sparkle noted about someone confronting vandals, but the vast number of murders are victim/perp knowing each other and happening in ‘expected’ parts of town
Exactly. Which is why - for residents - the drop in murder rate is welcome but not really noticeable compared to the rash of smashed windows.
My neighborhood feels much less safe than it used to despite the drop in homicides (although we also had a homicide near me this year for the first time ever I can recall).
