What is this argument? You think crime picks up momentum as it falls? What on earth? Listen, crime has surely risen since the Pandemic's economic disruption. But I am simply not going to join in on a crime panic on that small relative effect. Things will calm down when the economic situation stabilizes.

You can get the picture probably from looking at this. It doesn't include the most recent data, but you can see that things are really dramatically improved.

I didn't mean to stand in the way of your pitchfork. In general, crime remains near all time lows. We are in the middle of a significant economic upheaval, which always causes social upheavals in tandem. This isn't really something specific to policy in any one city, state, country, or intersection.

Relative. It's absolutely nothing like how it was in the 70's and 80's.

Was the street number correct? Lots of identical street names in Cambridge and Somerville, as well as other towns nearby.

Crime in Cambridge has been falling for most of that period until the Pandemic.
