Annual crime statistics are going to be full of high frequency noise.

For example, if you look at crime data since 2011, crime is trending upwards, but if you look at crime data since 2000, crime has plummeted dramatically and the current upward trend is just a hiccup compared to the significant downward trend overall.

But then that's not good clickbait.
