Disappearing Urban Crime in Los Angeles

By RC and Nicholas Stix

RC: Mark my words: Los Angeles is not the only large city that has "disappeared" its violent crime stats down the memory hole.

NS: I’ve done a few pieces on some of the tricks the LAPD have used to “disappear crime” in what is, increasingly, the City of Devils.

In one VDARE report, I showed that LAPD Commissioner William Bratton was violating LA’s Special Order 40, in order to aid and abet illegal aliens, and disappear crime. S.O. 40 was already illegal, because it broke the federal law making it a felony to harbor illegal aliens. Bratton responded by trying to get me fired from VDARE.

In a blog item, I showed how Bratton kept crime reports down by ceding ever more neighborhoods to the control of illegal alien gangs. Mexicans, the dominant alien group, come from a country in which a new report showed that people didn’t report 90% of crime to the police, because they didn’t trust them. Bratton exploited that attitude to the fullest.

A reader also once sent me an article showing how LAPD officers sandbag property crime victims, in order to get them to give up filing police reports. (I couldn’t find the item. Google ain’t what it used to be.)

Following an L.A. Times investigation that found police had seriously underreported violent crimes, the LAPD has launched reforms meant to overhaul its system for classifying crimes.
