- Violent crimes - murder, rape, robbery, felonious assault and burglary - are down 12 percent from the first three months of last year, according to police statistics released Monday for the first quarter of the year. Robberies decreased the most, by nearly 18 percent.
"These numbers show marked improvements in crime reduction in Cincinnati," said Cincinnati Police Chief Thomas Streicher Jr. "We are encouraged by the results of the first three months of 2005."
