I found it very surprising that the national and state statistics did show a decrease in the number of larceny crimes over time, whereas the precinct records were very unstable, jumping from approximately high to approximately low numbers on a regular basis.
I believe that having such data available allows the community to assess the overall policing job and determine whether or not they are satisfied with living in such a neighborhood.
