- deathanatos 2y agoYeah, they didn't. Worse, > it's clear that some areas experience significantly higher crime rates than others. (emphasis mine) "crime rates" — but then the data immediately after that is incident counts. The word "rate" means to measure some quantity against another, usually to find a frequency. And here, that would be per capita. (The chart Y axis labels are also lopped off. E.g., the max on the one chart for me reads "0,000".)
