Here are annual % change figures for DC violent crimes (and per
100,000 pop figures). Its interesting to see the big swings. This
underscores the fact that there are probably a number of factors
driving crime levels. If these are not controlled in the analysis,

to the overall results in the National Demonstration Project findings,
