Burglaries declined compared to January, 2009, and, thankfully, there was no repeat of last January's homicide. While all other categories rose compared to the prior year, overall levels remain low--criminals, too, like to lie low in the coldest months. Burglaries, for example, declined by about one-third between December and January both this year and last.
