These numbers are interesting. However, a better understanding of crime rates should include, statistics about new laws, police policy changes and population increases.
But lets be honest its probably all the Ancient Aliens fault.
My store just got burglarized tonight. Spent the last 3 hours cleaning up glass. Idiot broke the window, ran to the pharmacy ended up taking a bag of expired vitamins someone brought us for disposal. Narcotics are always locked in a safe, so he got away with expired vitamins and I lost 5 hours of sleep and the money to get the window fixed.
