The Denver Crimes Thursday September 21, 2017 email newsletter.

It's a little late today. But it's worth it, I swear, I've been putting together a new piece of crime data, which you get to see before anyone else: This list of which Denver neighborhoods have seen their per-capita rate of violent crimes increase the most this year over last. Denver's violent crime rate is up this year, and these are the neighborhoods bearing the brunt of the increase. It's possible I'm more into this than you are. No matter, here it is:
