Although the dollar-amount
of property stolen almost doubl-
ed from $128,000 in 1981 to
$255,000 in 1982 Carroll said,
“It’s not proportional to the in-
crease in the amount of thefts
and burglaries committed.”
He attributed the increase to

“The breakdowns of all the

clearance rate, since the na-
tional average “is somewhere in
the low to mid 20s.”
