As of 2004 stats, you're right on par with the big city in my neck of the woods, Cleveland. Except I think we have more of most things on the charts...
Can't find the latest stats. But I think I remember hearing something about what you're saying. I know we didn't fare too well this last year either. Sucks. They don't have enough police force in Cleveland at all (due to budget constraints, debt, and cutbacks), but I wouldn't blame the crimes on the police. It's still the criminals choosing to commit a crime.
