I think stronger local security partnerships and prompt first aid responses helped keep fatalities low in the South East.

I see that low figure, but it might be early to pin it solely on one factor; reporting and data practices likely vary.

We shouldn't jump to conclusions—maybe reporting is uneven across regions rather than actual violence differences.

Local authorities might share best practices from the South East to improve security measures and data collection nationwide.
