Murder-free counties

An interesting study from John Lott. In 2014 (the latest year for which county-level data is available) 54% of American counties had ZERO murders, and 69% had 0-1 murders. Conversely, the worst 1% of counties have 37% of the murders, and the worst 5% have 68% of the nation's murders.
