Despite Perception, Crime Remains Steady, Violent Crime Near 30-Year Low
A report released by the Brennan Center of Justice at the NYU School of Law found that crime in America has remained relatively flat. The report is based on an analysis of 30 of the largest U.S. cities.
While overall crime is projected to rise just 1.3 percent in 2016, 12 cities are expected to see a drop in crime, while these drops are offset by increases on Chicago and Charlotte.
