Sort of good news?


Given the outflow of Michiganders, especially in Detroit, over the last few years, doesn't it make sense that the absolute numbers of criminal acts would decline?

After all, there's a whole lot less victims still in Detroit.

It would be better to see the crime/resident ratio.

GordoM wonders why that number isn't published...... yeah right......



Violent crime falls in state's largest cities: "Violent crime in Detroit fell substantially during the first six months of 2007, led by a sharp decline in rapes, robberies and assaults, according to a report from the FBI released today.
Overall, violent crime in the state's largest city fell nearly 12 percent, from 10,551 in the first six months of 2006 to 9,314 last year.
