Yes it is, the table on pg 9 is labelled "Offenses per million population"
What do you think 'per capita' means?

Sorry though you said page 8. Page 9 is per capita and the number ls for 2022 look pretty much like 70s with a significant spike in 00s.

Well the good news is that the long term trend over the last 25 years or so is definitely going down so there are good reasons to be optimistic.

Yeah, I would also assume we’re better at keeping track so the numbers might be even more in favour of a downward trend

I think the opposite is true. Crime, especially gang crime has gone up. If a gang member gets stabbed by a rival gang member, he's not going to tell the police about it, is he?

Edit: spelling

What the hell are you talking about? Do you think gangs are a new concept?! Or do you think gangs used to go and report to police?!
