While it's fun to get emotional, I'm more interested in statistics. Has crime increased in Allentown since the 80s?

Actually the crime rate is fairly low for a city our size and the crime rate has had a consistent drop for the past 10 years. There are people who refuse to drive through Allentown due to fear of being a victim.
