Major Cities' Plummeting Crime Rates Mystifying

I thought this was a great trend story in The Washington Post this morning. Good news, less people are dying across the USA, the reason: no one knows! They speculate the economy & technology have something to do with it, although Dallas & Baltimore have increased crime rates. I thought that they did a good job speaking to their community about how the police officers are working more effectively together now, and though this could be blown up to a larger national story, they do a nice job keeping it local.

The lede was good, it made me want to keep reading:

Police Chief Roberto L. Hylton said that since he took over the department in September, there has been a more defined mission about how to attack crime.
