Juvenile crime statistics are misleading

| September 19, 2014 6:00 AM

I recently read the article of Sept. 1, 2014 stating, "Juvenile crime continues to decline in Grant County." Then, on Sept. 4, 2014, I read the article that said, "7 boys arrested in Moses Lake burglaries." Does anyone think that the juvenile crime/problems has really gone down in Grant County? How many times have you seen spray paint of gang signs on buildings? I also noticed in the article that it did not give the source of the statistics used. This makes me question how valid they are?
