[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given the cynicism on this board- and yes, I can am sometimes one of those cynics - wanted to note that there does seem to be some positive movement in terms of crime. Trending down vs. the same time last year: Homicide: -36% Assault w/ a Dangerous Weapon: -34% Robbery: -4% Violent Crime Total: -15% Burglary: -25% Motor Vehicle Theft: -30% Theft from vehicle: -23% Property Crime Total: -12% All Crime: -13% Let's hope this trend continues. Let's also hope that the OAG will actually prosecute with continued pressure! No more catch and release! And that DC gets its irresponsible sh*t together w/ regard to the DC crime lab (little hope on that one, sadly, still seems a mess of a situation)[/quote] Um, op? You do not actually believe this means anything, do you? Because: it’s meaningless. Most likely, MPD has learned to fake the numbers and under-report crime in response to pressure from the mayors office and council. [/quote]
