The statistics used for the charts below come from the newly identified Lexis/Nexis website. They sshow lower numbers than those from the old JPSO Crime Tracker. This may be due to a number of factors – issues with the Crime Tracker data, issues with the new data, and the manual process used to calculate the new statistics for Terrytown.
There also may be differences in how the data is characterized since I don’t know the specific criteria for each category. That would be significant if comparing individual categories. But it is less of a concern for the larger groups of Serious Crime and All Crime.
But, as indicated in the chart below, the old and new data give sufficiently similar trend indications that I feel the new data is useful for that purpose. And I believe trend data is more important than specific numbers. Note that the new data for All Crime shows a more conservative (i.e. less optimistic) estimate of the rate of decrease.
The following tables list what I have assumed to be the corresponding respective categories for the old Crime Tracker data and the new Lexis/Nexis data.
This first table lists the categories that are included in both the Serious and All Crime counts.
