It has been suggested with respect to police-reported crime that there have actually been changes over the last 20 years in how police count crime, and specifically with respect to incident reporting as opposed to crime reporting. For example, if an individual breaks into six houses on one evening, where historically that would have been counted as six crimes, it's now reported as one incident. Perhaps Dr. Waller or Chief McFee could tell me whether my understanding is correct.
