Crime is down - but so is population.

Is the decrease statistically significant after adjusting for population loss?

Violent Crime IS low in SF. It's pushed into Oakland. Property crime is insane and artificially held low by apathy with regard to reporting and redefining offense levels.

Also wondering how much this has to do with Shoplifting and other crimes simply being decriminalized.

  Shoplifting and other crimes simply being decriminalized.
Shoplifting was never (formally) decriminalized. SFPD stopped bringing anything to the DA because he was investigating and prosecuting police misconduct. Now that the mayor's installed a new DA and the new DA's disbanded the group that investigates police misconduct the police have started bringing more cases forward. Unsurprisingly the new DA is not prosecuting cases at a higher rate.
