Gang targeted killings are holding steady while all other crimes, which are not necessarily being committed by gang members, is going down. At least that's my theory...

It's interesting that all other numbers have dropped moderately or considerably, yet murders are still fairly high. I believe they are down from last year, but I'd welcome a further drop. You'd think that there being fewer crimes in general would translate to gang-on-gang homicides. The narcotics number is most interesting. There are way fewer arrests for narcotics but gang-on-gang violence is still high. Why? Are we just not arresting people for selling crack or heroin?
