There’s been a **huge jump** in the year-to-date crime rate, up now to a 5.3 percent increase year-over-year from 2.6 percent. It seems to have been driven by an uptick in robberies, burglaries and grand larceny auto incidents in the week covered by this Compstat report. Given that they’re all property crimes, could it be possible that the economy is playing a role in the higher numbers?
