The number of murders that took place in Wisconsin are fewer than the year before.  This is good news for the state, as it shows a slight improvement in the reduction of crime.

The drop in homicides for 2008 was 20% less than the previous year. This means that a drop in 18 homicides took place for the year.  Research will look into what caused this drop in homicides.  Some officials believe that it was increased law enforcement efforts.
