For the 11th year the crime in Los
Angeles has dropped again in 2013. On Monday Los Angeles’s Mayor Eric Garcetti
and Police Chief Charlie Beck announced that final LAPD statistics showed that
crime has fallen 5.2% in the whole city. There are double-digits drop in
violent crime, homicides, reported rapes, and gang violence. Although the rate
of crimes have gone down there are still neighborhoods that are dangerous and
hear gunshots at night. They still read about tragedies in the newspaper when
they wake up in the morning. Garcetti still wants to work with the Chief to
help lower the crime rate even more and make it safer for the people living in
L.A. The officers are credited for the work they have done to help lower the
crime rates in the community. Before this city was known as the “City of Gang
Violence”, but now it’s known as the “Home of the Solution to Gang Violence”.
