Also, to note, the FBI Uniform Crime Report they use is only for the first half of the year [[Jan. to June) unless they were able to obtain the full years report, as that has yet to be released.
Lastly, I wonder which violent crimes, in particular, rose, last year? Because, homicides [[both the number and the rate), particularly in Detroit, were down significantly from 2007 [[down %14). As usual, the report leaves quite a few questions, for me.
