The comment with citation you are responding to shows a clear down line. The year over year trend is pretty strong and goes back a couple decades now.

Perhaps you are thinking of violent crime which did go up in 2020. That is also down in 2021 from 2020 (and I was really surprised that there has been such a strong downward trend since 1990, I would not have guessed that the violent crime rate of today is almost half of 1990!)

The commenters here who attempt to bring balance to the discussion by pointing out how scary SF is and the like are more afraid of visible homelessness than actual violence
