The reports of crime dropped.

When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure

- Charles Goodhart, Economist

Where is all this epistemological sophistication when we're discussing crime statistics that favor more draconian police tactics?

All over the comments section?

Seriously, nothing gets HN outraged like police tactics, draconian or otherwise.

Yeah and the whole point of the article is to discuss why. Thanks for your contribution anyways

The headline says "crime dropped". It's clearly misleading, parent is just correcting it.

To be fair to OP, the mention that reports dropped specifically doesn't happen til the end of paragraph 5, and therefore the headline is misleading.
