The reports of crime dropped.

  Yeah and the whole point of the article is to discuss why. Thanks for your contribution anyways

    To be fair to OP, the mention that reports dropped specifically doesn't happen til the end of paragraph 5, and therefore the headline is misleading.

    The headline says "crime dropped". It's clearly misleading, parent is just correcting it.

    Where is all this epistemological sophistication when we're discussing crime statistics that favor more draconian police tactics?

      All over the comments section? Seriously, nothing gets HN outraged like police tactics, draconian or otherwise.
