Homicide slump

The recession appears to be affecting that previously inviolable trump card of criminal activity - murder. To wit: I just read a newspaper headline saying San Francisco saw the biggest single-year drop in homicide on record in the year just past. Allow me to posit two theories:

1) People were just too depressed to report the murders

2) The additional killings migrated to Oakland, boosting its already impressive score
