Not sure where you are getting your information, but it isn't so cut-and-dry. 2017 had a record number of homicides in Indianapolis and 2018 hasn't been better. That said, most other types of crime are down. From October [1] ==The FBI reported that crime dropped 10 percent from 2016 to 2017 in Indianapolis and robbery was off by more than 12 percent. IMPD statistics show robberies are down another 17 percent so far this year and burglaries are off 20 percent from last year. But killings and aggravated assaults, often with guns, are up.== [1] https://cbs4indy.com/2018/10/01/overall-crime-down-as-murder-rate-increases-in-indianapolis/ https://cbs4indy.com/2018/10/01/overall-crime-down-as-murder...
