Violent Crime Falls Sharply
The rate of decline has accelerated in recent years. In 2007, violent crime fell 0.7% from the prior year. In 2008, it fell an additional 1.9%.
But it often takes time for falling crime rates to affect popular perceptions of how safe the streets are. Researchers note that it took years for the dramatic crime reductions in the latter part of the 1990s to register with lawmakers and voters.
In Phoenix, police spokesman Trent Crump said, "Despite all the hype, in every single reportable crime category, we're significantly down." Mr. Crump said Phoenix's most recent data for 2010 indicated still lower crime. For the first quarter of 2010, violent crime was down 17% overall in the city, while homicides were down 38% and robberies 27%, compared with the same period in 2009.
Arizona's major cities all registered declines. A perceived rise in crime is one reason often cited by proponents of a new law intended to crack down on illegal immigration. The number of kidnappings reported in Phoenix, which hit 368 in 2008, was also down, though police officials didn't have exact figures.
Expectations that crime would rise in the recession were cited by Justice Department officials last year to support increased aid to police departments. Some gun owners cited an expected crime increase for the surge in weapons sales, though the perception that President Barack Obama would clamp down on gun rights also played a role.
The Justice Department received $4 billion in stimulus funding last year, much of which it spent on grants to police departments.
Looks like the "Illuminati's" light may be going dim. I've noticed you've been posting more and more right-wing propaganda lately Lumi. Is DTB wearing you down? :142smilie
Oh, and before you attack my source, it's from the WSJ (a Murdoch publication).
