America's worrying rise in murder rates is felt most acutely in City, Detroit and St Louis, says a study that blames soft-on-crime policies and efforts to defund the police for a nationwide uptick in homicides.Researchers found that Kansas City, Missouri, saw the steepest rise from July to September this year, when it saw 15 murders for every 100,000 people, compared to the same periods in the previous two years.Its crime problem was on show again this week, when police opened homicide probes after two people were found dead in an apartment in the Santa Fe Hills neighborhood and another woman was found dead from gunshot wounds in her car.
