Arrests and prosecutions are way down because nobody reports crime. Unreported" crime is up 3 or more times. Tracking "reported" crime is terribly misleading. The truth is not visible to the well-to-do public because they are insulted from its ravages. The drug stores and food stores left poor neighborhoods because "unreported" crime is out of control. Home values in poor neighborhoods went through the floor because "unreported" crime is through the roof. People sell their life long home at giant losses because "unreported" crime is increasing. Do you know why unreported crime is increasing so rapidly?

If I had to guess, I would say "narrative convenience".
