I live near to Oakland. It is crime, since a lot of it is just theft.


Is Oakland representative of the entire USA then?

In any case the Atlantic article says the stats show violent crime is on the rise and property crime is not. FTFA:

"Perhaps America is in the midst of what is specifically a violence wave, not a broad crime wave. Even as violent crime rose, led by significant jumps in murders and aggravated assaults, property crime continued a years-long decline."
