I consider myself somewhat of a trend spotter. The yellow jeans trend is hot - I have a pair of those myself and I have only seen one other person trying to pull them off (to date). However, the current crime trend we are seeing in Peoria is NOT HOT.
"Police released its first quarter crime index. Property crimes, including burglaries, arson, theft and motor vehicle theft, are up nearly 20 percent. Overall, crime is up 21 percent from this time last year. Burglaries, alone, are up nearly 50 percent year-to-date. Aggravated assaults and robberies have also seen increases in the city." Source
Imagine wearing your trendy, yellow jeans to attend a concert at the Civic Center and you get mugged before you make it to the safe confines of the Catwalk - that would not be cute.
Don't even try and blame the increase in crime on the weather. Put the blame where it should be, inside the horseshoe.
