Over the first half of 2023, the number of homicides, robberies and car thefts is down in San Diego County.
from the San Diego Association of Governments, homicides are down 17%, robberies 12% and car thefts 4% through June 2023.
"Violent crime has gone down. Property crime has gone down, but not in all areas," San Diego City Councilmember Marni von Wilpert said."Unfortunately, we are still seeing some home burglaries in certain spots, and people are getting their catalytic converters stolen, especially out of their Priuses, so it hasn’t universally gone down in all parts of the city. But I am glad to see that overall crime has gone down.
“I think that’s a great thing," Jordan Blackmun said."It’s always good to have less crime than more, so it’s impressive that it’s going down."“I realize that people may not feel safer even though crime statistics have gone down, and we see that because hate crimes are still on the rise nationwide. Even here in San Diego County, we saw a slight dip last year,” von Wilpert said.
