From the City of Scottsdale e-mail update:
SCOTTSDALE CONTINUES TO BE SAFE COMMUNITY. The 2007 Uniform Crime Reports indicate that Part One crimes (homicide, burglary, robbery, rape, vehicle theft, aggravated assault and larceny) are down by three percent from last year, with a four percent reduction in the crime rate per 1,000 persons. With the exception of 2005, last year saw the lowest crime rate per 1,000 since 1985, when the City’s population was estimated at 137,000 fewer people. There continues to be double-digit reductions in almost every category. At this time, theft appears to be the only crime category that is on the rise, specifically shoplifting, vending machine thefts and building thefts. The clearance rate in the City for homicides has continued to be 100 percent since 2002.
