Acting wonky to me. I put in my town (8K) and compared it to Rockford, IL, and was told my town had more rape than Rockford. Then I compared my town to Peoria, IL, and got the exact same chart as from the Rockford comparison.
Compare New York, New York and Washington, D.C. Fun.
Wouldn't those statistics be affected by it being a "reported crime" rate? That is, some places report differently than others.
When that changes over to a unified standard, then I might be a bit more inclined to believe the reported numers.
The comparison of Detroit, Mi versus St. Louis, Mo seems to be about right...
Sethstrom,
It's not just that "some places report differently", it's that many places under report.
The Detroit police regularly under report crime in Detroit.
In the irony file, shouldn't it be a crime for police to falsify crime data?
Who knew there was less theft in Detroit than Minneapolis. Nothing left worth stealing?
Oh well all that matters to me is murder rates anyway. Just glad I don't live in New Orleans or Washington D.C not to mention Detroit.
