"In addition, Antioch is in the midst of what some city leaders have called a "crime emergency" because its overall crime rate jumped by 24.2 percent in 2012 compared with the previous year.

Even so, the combined total of violent and property crimes fell by 19.8 percent during the first quarter of this year compared with the same period in 2012."


Eah????? Then whats the crime emergency if the violent and property crimes fell by 19%...?
