And the graphics on the map tend to make you think that these were all serious crimes. The "gun" symbol actually means "weapon" not "gun" which could mean a guy threatening someone with a baseball bat. "Robbery" would include low level stuff like shoplifting. Also it's worth remembering that lots of crime is low-life vs low-life (aka settling of accounts) and not much of a risk to the average person.

If you click on the icons they give you more detail as the the nature of each crime. Most of the ski-masks seem to be "STRONGARM ROB." which implies a mugging to my mind. The gun symbol means weapon, and most of them seem to be knives.
