What was Whitechapel's homicide rate, sans the Ripper?

[protohistorian]

Well sir, I do not have maps for all of England. I can separate the weapon type as a category unto itself, so all knife kills in one folder and such. I can do the same with self inflicted. As long as I have the data, for example ( Joe Jackass, 23 whatever the hell road, gunshot, self inflicted) would be stellar for me. I know it is much work for you, however, you have a good mind and have covered the material before so it will not be so bad. Dave

OK

Hello Dave. I can do a little at a time (at least, until the term ends).

Shall we begin with the April 8 edition of Lloyd's?

Cheers.

Sounds good Sir, just email me the details, I will then email you the map(s). Dave

Interesting project. The best of luck to the both of you with that.
I seem to hazily recall that the most knife-related homicides in Victorian London occurred in West London. I'm afraid I don't recall if I read that in a thread or perhaps through statistics by Colin Roberts, but I might look it up at a later point (after having acquired some sleep first!)...

sharp observation

Hello Maria. Your answer is sharp, as always. (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

You will also find a good deal of murders and suicides done by razor.

Cheers.

Hello Lynn,
Sharp, eh? You seem utterly preoccupied with razors these days.
By the way, I'm pretty sure that the statistics result about West London coming up number 1 in murders during the Victorian era came from Colin Roberts. I'll try to find the thread in question later tonight, when I have some time in my hands. (And it'd be nice if someone more experienced preceded me in this, he he!)

Lloyd's

Hello Maria. Well, my wife wishes I had MORE of a preoccupation with razors. (heh-heh)

I shall soon have a go at Lloyd's and see about murders in London.

Cheers.

Hello Lynn,
I hope this just refers to shaving.
Good luck with Loyds Weekly. Myself I feel strangely unmotivated for work today. I don't know if it's the antibiotics I've been taking until a couple days ago, but I feel like sleeping for a year. Or maybe because yesterday I worked non stop for 27 hours (for real, I have the emails to prove it.)...

So how did the project turn out, Lynn?
