I work in the public safety software industry and you need to be aware that the old statistics were under reported because of the UCR reporting mechanism of the time. Up to the early 2000's DPD reported using UCR. As they did software upgrades to the police reporting system they supported NIBRS which is the new standard and much more detailed. Typically when a jurisdiction switches to NIBRS there is a 30% increase in reported crimes in an urban area. I can go in to more detail but most people don't care......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
