This idea that there's a crime wave seems to be pushed here and on reddit by month old accounts with no real proof. The reality is that crime is down in most places.

Lets look at San Francisco. I'm going to get my stats right from the San Francisco Police Department.

Homocide - Down 20%

Rape - Down 23.8%

Robbery - Down 20.7%

Assault - Down 8.8%

Human Trafficking - Down 83.3%

Burglary - Down 45.4%

Motor Vehicle Theft - Down 6%

Arson - Down 7.9%

Larceny Theft - Up 12.8%

Year over year the only type of crime that is up is Larceny Theft, and most of that is shoplifting. Everything else is down, and some of it by significant margins. There is no real basis for this "crime wave" people keep talking about. That pressure is really just right wing propaganda.

Quick Edit: When I published this the stats were only current to February 6th, but they were updated after I posted with data up to the 13th. So my numbers above are going to be slightly off, but you can confirm them by changing the timeframe to end on the 6th.
