| Criminologists and most crime experts like to make crime comparisons from year to year using a rate of crime per 100 thousand people. |
| This takes into account changing population. |
| Using the rate per 100 thousand method, the drop over the last 10 years becomes even more pronounced. |
| Our overall crime rate has been reduced to a 1967 level. This is a 36-year roll back. |
| The best news is that burglary that accounts for over one-half of the total crime drops has been rolled back to 1955-1956 rates. This is nearly a 50-year low. |
