Crime in Central Dallas Down 19%
Crime in Dallas down from 2007 period | Dallas Morning News | News for Dallas, Texas | Breaking News for Dallas-Fort Worth | Dallas Morning News
"Police say a recent program to keep career criminals like him behind bars longer could be one factor behind a dramatic reduction this summer in the city's crime.
Overall crime in Dallas fell about 17 percent in June and July, compared with the same period last year. That's helped bring this year's numbers down about 7 percent.

Awkward, page 1 - News - Dallas Observer - Dallas Observer
