I wonder if the crime increases in absolute numbers, but goes down per capita. This phenomenon frequently gives cities a bad rep, even though you might actually be safer.

You might probably be right but its nevertheless amusing the way statistics can render things banal in a weird way

Nope, it goes up per-capita as well.
