By the way, as of today, most categories of crime are lower year to date 2016 vs the same period 2015.

2015 was also good relative to 2014, EXCEPT for homicide.  The 2015 homicide number was still nowhere near the 1990s numbers (despite a larger population)

DC has a homicide problem.  It does not appear to be going back to the bad old days.   Press officials to improve, but keep things in perspective. [/quote]

You do realize DC is notorious for manipulating it's numbers right?[/quote]

D.C. seriously under-reports its crime numbers using a variety of types of fraud and deceit.

D.C. has been repeatedly caught engaging in this type of public fraud for decades.

The questions this begs are:

1) what are the ACTUAL higher crime figures? (we only know the numbers are higher; we do not know how much higher), and

2) why are these ongoing government-initiated frauds tolerated year after year in D.C.??[/quote]

Source for this? When has DC been "repeatedly caught"? (And please point to an actual news story or statement, not another "my grandpa's friend's niece got kicked in the shin and the police didn't take a report")[/quote]

Here is some light reading for you. This is just a sampling of information that can be found if one wants to hear the truth.

Article reporting how Lanier manipulates her crime closure rates. If she manipulates the data boosting her effectiveness in closing homicides, one can infer that she has no problem manipulating the data concerning a decrease in crime.

Here's one where the Human Rights Watch accuse and show data where Lanier made excuses for erroneous data concerning sexual assault victims. HRW accused MPD of misclassifying, failing to investigate, or intimidating victims to dropping their reports.  Sound personally familiar in my case.

The people out on the street know what is going on.

There are other reports. You just have to be open to hearing instead of excusing.
