Title: Reality vs. Perceptions An Analysis of Crime and Safety in Downtown Detroit Summary: The crime rate in downtown Detroit is significantly lower than the crime rate for the entire United States, the State of Michigan and Michigan’s largest metropolitan areas. Specifically, in 2003 there were 3,004 serious crimes per 100,000 people reported in downtown Detroit compared to 4,063 in the entire United States, 3,788 in Michigan and 4,085 in Michigan’s major metropolitan areas per 100,000 people. Detroit’s rate of serious crime, therefore, is 26% below the national average. During the past four years, the overall rate of serious crime in downtown Detroit has dropped 22%, from 3,027 crimes in 2001 to 2,345 crimes in 2004. Each of the seven categories of serious crime either fell or remained constant during the period. To understand the risk of crime for someone attending a major downtown Detroit event, it is necessary to include in the downtown population count the 19 million visitors who come to the Auto Show and numerous other events each year. Doing so lowers downtown Detroit’s crime rate to a miniscule level of 12 per 100,000 people. Details: Detroit: Wayne State University, 2007. 15p.
