Robberies are usually not tallied in newspaper articles or publications like homicides are.

There are some police department that have daily, weekly, monthly updates to all crimes including robberies.

I think it is interesting how some police departments will manipulate assault and robbery numbers to make the cities look good on paper, but homicides are the only indicator that is hard to manipulate.

Some cities I noticed try manipulate even the homicide numbers, I can only imagine what they do to the other numbers.

This should be a small challenge. The post robbies like homicides just have to be more Attentive on the weekly or monthly basis.

It's rather macabre to keep focusing on homicides year to year. Additionally your average tourists faces a larger chance of being robbed than randomly being killed. I also notice nobody made a suicide thread but I'm sticking to Robberies.

Yeah but where ever the murders happen usually has a high crime rate too including robberies. The tourist usually don't go to these areas because it really is bad and high tourism places will have higher stats because it's tourism. Lastly tourist are not the only people robbed and who gives about the tourist let's talk about how bad a place is to live in.

Why so enthusiastic about how bad a place to live in when it's the same infrastructure like the next American city? It's always the same regurgitated low income high poverty areas. Robberies on the other hand takes place anywhere and anytime coupled with how it's committed too.
