Murder capital of England and Wales revealed

What a terrible article, the first four paragraphs all say the same thing. Why are attempts at murder counted when determining the murder capital?

Perhaps one of the reasons is similar to one of the causes in the significant rise in overall violent crime.

New figures show that the number of murders and manslaughter deaths increased by 14 per cent last year bringing the annual total to 574, or 11 deaths a week.
Officials at the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the surge was concentrated in London and the South East and described it as “peculiar”.
However, police sources said contributory factors may have been the re-deployment of detectives in London – where a fifth of the additional murders took place – as well as growing violence among migrants, including organised gangs.

It's because of all the Latvians and Scandanavian's, Boston has more foreigners than actual Lincolnshire people living there

Stats like those are only worthwhile over a number of years to find some consistency, particularly when the numbers are so small. As an example, the village that I used to live in here had a murder rate per 100,000 in 2011 of 300. Since then, the murder rate has been 0.

It will be interesting to see where Boston comes in the 2016 list.
