I doubt there was any point in Detroit history where downtown carjackings were routine and not newsworthy.
Downtown has always been relatively safe compared to the city overall.
It depends on how you define downtown also.
The 1970s were pretty rough for inner city Detroit. That's where the epicenter of the crime was [[in/around downtown), versus the outer ring neighborhoods like today.
