"... compare today's crime rates to some violent time in the 1970's or the 1990's and then claim that See? It's way better than it was then or Population increases explain any increase in crime. That's assuming they admit there's been any crime increase AT ALL."

If they really wanted to be honest about crime stats, which they clearly do not want, they would acknowledge that the majority of robberies are never even reported lest say even investigated. Grocery stores, pharmacies, and big box stores basically have forbidden their employees to either interfere or report crimes even as they are occurring
