+) She’s far and away the best player. 
    그녀는 단연코 최고의 선수이다.
We actually did a story where we calculated that there was a car theft every hour in Minneapolis in 2023 if you averaged it out. And that's far and away more than anything we've ever seen before.

For people in the US, 2020 was one of the most dangerous years in decades. The first year of the pandemic saw a huge spike in violence. The number of homicides in the country rose about 30 percent from 2019.

Fast forward a couple of years - and things look very different. According to crime analyst Jeff Asher, "2023 featured one of the lowest rates of violent crime in the US in more than 50 years."

In big cities and small, from the East coast to the West, violence has dropped dramatically.
