Someone should put these things:


 * the crack cocaine in 80s and 90s
 * the CRASH anti-gang unit (and their alleged corruption)
 * Watts riots and 1992 riots
 * South Central LA
 * Skid Row
 * crime in other cities in Greater LA area (if you deem it fit)Admiral Norton 18:17, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

this is stupid.los angeles murders have only decreased.you put the murders from the entire los angeles county in 2006 compared to the murders in the city ALONE.trying to make it seem like murders increased. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.149.17.245 (talk) 00:34, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

"The 90s"
"In 2005, Los Angeles reported 489 murders, a major decrease from the 90s which 1,096 murders were reported."

What year is this article talking about? does it mean the decade as a whole? I think not. 206.113.132.130 (talk) 01:11, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Its talking about 1992, thats the highest number of homicides recorded in 1 year in L.A. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.100.185.95 (talk) 16:57, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Outline for improvment
Okay, I have no background knowledge on this subj., but I can help, because this article is in terrible shape. The first problem with the info on this page is the way it's organized and presented, It's like each section is a spicific riot, with subtle details about the situation as a whole interwoven.To make it good, let's

1 organize the article by years/periods

and subdivide each section further into

a.major trends,

b.very major events, and

c.the police's reaction to stuff, etc.

Topic is too broad. Break it apart.
This article read like a summary of the topic it was supposed to cover. And a badly written summary. Can we go more in depth? Maybe chronologically? By neighborhood? Surely there is much much more to say than this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.56.31.133 (talk) 12:03, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
