These two graphs from the Madison Police Department speak volumes about the reality of crime rates in Madison.
Population Growth in the City of Madison
Number of (UCR) Crimes in the City of Madison (despite the label on the graph, the data is 1990 – 2008)
I have a few questions about this new info: Why isn’t the press release on the city’s website? (It wasn’t there yesterday, its not there today.) Where is the volumes of data that were sent out to various groups? (It’s not on the police website.) Why wasn’t this info sent to the alders?
More to come.
