People and businesses aren't bothering to report crimes anymore when everybody knows it won't amount to anything. If people committing crimes even happen to be caught everybody knows they'll just quickly be released.
Heck, that tourist that got punched in the head and stomped repeatedly just the other day in Vancouver was attacked by a guy who was released after ambushing 4 different people across two years - he only got 1 day of jail for the multiple assaults. He'll be back for more I'm sure. Maybe something happens to you if you hack off a hand or somebody's head. Otherwise you'll be out in short order.
The disorder that society just accepts now wouldn't be tolerated even just a few years ago. The open drug use, property theft, assaults, defecation on playgrounds and property, etc. never gets reported any more.
EDIT:
And then the people that do try call the police can't even get through to them that they have to abandon the call. Like literally tens of thousands of calls every year. No wonder reported crime is "down".
