Talk:Crime in Detroit

Untitled
The opening sentence "Crime in Detroit, Michigan has increased significantly since the 1970s." directly contradicts the statement found in the primary Detroit article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit#Crime "Although crime has declined significantly since the 1970s, the violent crime rate is one of the highest in the U.S.A...."

Perhaps someone would like to reconcile the differences. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.97.120.214 (talk) 00:14, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

What?
All this article describes is "crime has declined in recent years" and "crime is lower than national average" and does not highlight anything on the other point of view, which would make this article not neutral. It is obvious that the article seems to be promoting the topic of detroit's decline in crime rather than the OVERALL topic of crime in detroit. I am all for promoting a better detroit, but come on! It does not take a genius to know that there is more to detroit than just "crime has declined" which is all that this article highlights. You might as well rename the article "Decline in Detroit's crime" Hghyux (talk) 16:04, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
 * The lead section does seem to give undue weight to the decline in crime rather than past and present crime rates themselves. The article overall seems to make Detroit look more positive than the image I've gleaned of the city from the media, but that could just be due to my own biases. 50.47.195.198 (talk) 22:49, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

Outdated
This article is laughably misleading and badly outdated. It should be removed.159.45.129.12 (talk) 16:06, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
