Illinois crime rate falls ninth straight year nationwide
Officials cite multiple factors in reducing Illinois crime index, while totals in counties and cities show mixed changes. Sheriff Cundiff notes reporting changes inflated counts as more crimes are counted separately. Carbondale and Williamson County report rises in burglaries and thefts, others steady or down. Local chiefs attribute meth-related thefts and facility paperwork to some spikes.
