What counts as a crime? There is littering and illegal drug abuse everywhere - is that reflected in the data? Or is that not counted as a crime even though it is all around us? What about the continuous shoplifting you can find in any social media? I can’t imagine workers bothering to report each such incident when it happens several times a day. Businesses in many west coast cities underreport crimes (example: https://mynorthwest.com/1538741/uwajimaya-seattle-prolific-offenders/ https://mynorthwest.com/1538741/uwajimaya-seattle-prolific-o...), and these problems are most evident in SF, where crime-friendly restorative justice policies originated from.
