What's the daily homocide rate for Chicago, Washington DC, Detroit, Philadelphia, and NYC?

[Tymesup]

NYC and Chicago were neck and neck for 2003. There was some question about a small number of homicides in NYC which, if counted, would put it over 600 and past Chicago.

Note NYC has been in the 600 range since Giuliani was in office. It was around 2400 when Dinkins was mayor.

Springsteen wrote "41 Shots" about the tragic death of Amadou Diallo. No one wrote anything about the 1800 extra deaths each year under Dinkins.
