In another of those weird coincidences that seem to follow me around, the day after I post about crime the WSJ publishes a story on A3 that says I'm fool of S**t. It's based on Federal statistics so pardon me if I'm not completely chagrined: Violent Crime Falls Sharply Latest Decline, of 5.5%, Challenges Belief That Recessions Drive Up Rate By EVAN PEREZ Violent crime fell significantly last year in cities across the U.S., according to preliminary federal statistics, challenging the widely held belief that recessions drive up crime rates. The incidence of violent crimes such as murder, rape and aggravated assault was down 5.5% from 2008, and 6.9% in big cities. It fell 2.4% in long-troubled Detroit and plunged 16.6% in Phoenix, despite a perception of rising crime that has fueled an immigration backlash. online.wsj.com
