Rockridge Neighborhood Crime Prevention Council

Starting in June 2010, the NCPC will post here the presentations Vivek Bhatia presents at the NCPC meetings, analyzing recent crime trends in beats 12Y and 13X, with some numbers from neighboring beats. Vivek's work on these statistics is entirely volunteer, and we greatly appreciate his efforts.

These statistics were previously available on Rockridgeresidents.org, which has now been shut down.   Due to workload issues, Vivek is now doing the analysis quarterly instead of monthly.

Background on the statistics:  These analyses use crime median numbers instead of averages.  The median number is the number exactly in the middle of a range of numbers:  if the number is 15, the median is 8.  Median numbers are affected less than average numbers by temporary spikes or drops.
