What is the Homicide Report?
The Homicide Report is a weekly listing of all homicide victims reported by the Los Angeles County Coroner, with additional information obtained from various sources. Any human being who dies at the hand of another in Los Angeles County, and whose death is recorded by the Coroner, is included on the list.
The Report seeks to reverse an age-old paradox of big-city crime reporting, which dictates that only the most unusual and statistically marginal homicide cases receive press coverage, while those cases at the very eye of the storm -- those which best expose the true statistical dimensions of the problem of deadly violence -- remain hidden.
