Is this good? The Asheville Police Department reports B&E crime in Asheville was down to 90 incidences in October. Incidences have been running around 120 per month. It’s a step in the right direction, but burglaries in Detroit, America’s Crime Capital, in 2012 were running around 1908 incidences/100,000 people. Asheville’s 120 per month per 83,400 citizens translates to about 1700. Anchorage’s burglary rate was only about 400.
Incidentally, the article referenced above was the top headline in this morning’s print edition of the local daily. Now, the online top headliner is investigation of a double homicide in Leicester.
