Is the Vienna Times Reading HistoricVienna.com?

Please refrain from swallowing this nonsense. Here's what this article really tells us:

1. The purpose of the article is to spin the fact that we've got an ever-increasing violent crime problem in Vienna.

2. Neither the Chief nor Murray mentioned the increase in gang related crime and other crimes in the SE/SW side of town. Wonder why?

3. Notice that the reporter did not ask why the town has not been forthcoming with crime information in the past. The town has not reported accurate crime statistics to it's citizens or the state, as mandated by law, for the last 9 years. The new information they are sharing with the public is not equal to the full disclosure citizens of Vienna deserve.

I must dispute the assertion that violent crime is 'ever-increasing.'

Two aggravated assults have occurred in the first half of 2008, compared with five in all of 2007 and eleven in 2006. I'm not sure of the numbers of rapes or murders. (What other crimes get to be violent?)

This is by any measure a decline, unless one has proof that the TOV police are lying about incidents, or are defining crime down to make 'aggravated assault' turn into 'disorderly conduct' or the such.

Burglaries seem to be up somewhat, but as Chief Carlisle says, our small sample size makes statistical analysis more difficult. (I'm also not sure what time of year is good for burglary. I'm guessing December is the 'best' due to the presence of Christmas presents but could be wrong.)

As for the 'increase in gang-related crime,' is there a source for this other than your assertion that it is so? In what timeframe has this increase been occurring?

The third point is quite accurate. The town has failed in its statutory duty, in something that seems to be a simple matter of recordkeeping (it's not as if we've been told to put in a $10 million water purification plant or to collect data from 20 years ago.)

The last few entries from the Town's website occurred in 2007.

Interesting to see that the Connection appears to be printing every crime being reported:
