Extreme Winter Cited as Key Reason for Crime Drop
FBI Uniform Crime Reports show the first quarter crime rate fell sharply, the steepest in 19 years, with decreases in five major categories though rapes rose 5 percent and aggravated assaults up 1 percent. Larceny led declines at 11 percent while robbery fell 8 percent and burglary 7 percent. Geographically, the drop spanned north central states to the West, and officials attribute the winter weather as a major factor. The mugger reportedly stayed indoors as snow and cold kept criminals off the streets.
