Aberdeen Crime Statistics

I've captured in the chart below the Uniform Crime Report statistics for Aberdeen Township for the past decade. Notable is the more than thirty percent improvement in the Crime Index Total, with a trend towards fewer non-violent crimes; larceny, burglary and motor vehicle theft are all down. While the stats suggest some improvement, violent crime is a mixed bag; aggravated assaults are down markedly, but murder, rape, and robbery seem to be holding their own.
