Solving Atlanta’s Crime Statistics Mystery « Mostly Media
by Lost at 11:03 am EST, Feb 15, 2009

Kent says Mayor Franklin is telling outright lies when she says, as she did again recently, that crime in Atlanta is, statistically, down. Kent says Franklin is lying because crimes in the City of Atlanta are actually up, but there’s no way to prove this because APD is not providing accurate stats for interested parties…. the “interested parties” being local journalism outlets such as The Sunday Paper and the AJC; that any efforts by journalists-with-money-behind-’em to find reliable and accurate crime stats are being thwarted by APD and/or, I presume, City Hall.

Atlanta has a long history of fabricating crime statistics.
