The wrenching tragedy in Connecticut last week led to much national coverage of gun violence.
Not mentioned in most of the coverage is the fact that the U.S. is experiencing a 50-year-low in murders nationwide.
Murder rates are measured by the number of deaths per 100,000 people,
which allows comparisons to be made independent of the overall population.
In 2011, the U.S. murder rate was 4.8 per 100,000,
the lowest since 1963, when the rate was slightly lower at 4.6 per 100,000.
