Violent Crime Up 28% in Milwaukee

It’s nice to see Milwaukee actually exceed some national trend.... I guess…

Violent crime rose nationally by 1.9% and property crime dropped at the same rate from 2005 to 2006, the report says.

In Milwaukee, violent crime shot up by 28%, though homicides and rapes were down 15% and 29% respectively. Robbery (23%) and aggravated assaults (34%) were up.
