"Crime is down. The number of murders, robberies, rapes and assaults in the United States decreased 3.5 percent in 2008 compared with the previous year, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's most recent statistics. Property crime levels have dropped as well - 25 percent since the early 1990s. Auto theft volumne in 2008 dropped 39 percent from the year before and 42 percent from a high in 1991. Likewise, burglary rates have declined 43 percent sinc espiking in 1989."
