Burglaries or home invasion has been a serious problem in Detroit for the last 7-8 years. I don't know how it's been ignored by the media. I don't believe that stats saying it's going down. I think people don't report them anymore because it's useless. I've been in Detroit my whole life and have never seen as been break-ins as I've had recently.
