  1. The source is a compilation that includes The U.S. Department of Justice's National Crime Victimization Survey as well as the FBI reported crime statistics. The use of just one source has proven to be grossly under reporting of actual crimes and incidents.
  2. Very good Kimosabe. Nice observation that I may NOT be using HPD numbers based upon their beats. See I was talking about zip codes, people move into zip codes not police beats. If one has any modicum of intelligence they check these things out through what, yes a realtor, not a cop shop. When one checks for themselves or though a realtor they can get all of the information about their prospective neighborhood. Things like school district ratings, income, community make up, crime etc. You know all of the things that make up the community. Tip of the day: Check out Gunspoints zip codes stats vs. say, Humble, that's it; Humble and you'll see a different picture (it may not be the one HPD wants you to see).
  3. The crime statistics based on zip codes bear what I stated as fact (not just in the 1980
  4. Back in the early 1980's the body count coming out of the Gunspoint area was tremendous. There was even a cop kidnapped and later found burned to death in her vehicle. Then it was over run with gangs not shoppers, heck there was more stealing than buying. Needless to say after that reputation got foothold it was down hill from there. Hence the big public relations campaign in the media to change the image. I chuckle everytime I hear it. Like I would want to shop in Watts. Heck the only reason anyone from the outside came there to shop was there was no other place to shop. (1980's)
