Well... probably not in total.. while homicides are down, I would bet that the crimes that affect the quality of life here in the City the greatest, robbery, larceny, burglery... have probably risen.... |

According to the City of Flint. There were 300 less crimes in Flint in 2007. I'm still waiting on the City website to be updated. If it's not by the end of the week. I'll FOIA it!
This si supposed to be public information. But it continues to be more and more difficult to get this out of this administration. |

I love the artificial comparisons that are made to make it look like a good number.
As others have pointed out, crime went up drastically first before he could start making claims of improvement.
From the numbers I've seen, Josh is correct: murder is down, sure. "Violent crime", maybe. But all the other stuff like burglary is either constant or has gone up.
Oh, and by the way.... do they measure that PER CAPITA? I bet not. I bet it's only in raw numbers; the decrease in our population alone is probably enough to have reduced crime. haha. |

Ya know, one would think so wouldn't ya>? Unfortunately, ... as hard working, tax paying citizens leave. Criminals find it easier to commit crime. And crime actually goes up. Sad fact. |
