Homeless population in the city of LA is up 48% just since 2013. The reporters data shows a 31% increase in the amount of arrests of homeless people. So, per-capita arrests have gone down. That&amp;#x27;s basic statistics.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;That would indicate that the headline of the article supported by the data...&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Huge increase in arrests of homeless in L.A. — but mostly for minor offenses&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;..is misleading.&lt;p&gt;I lived in Santa Monica during the same time period. The homeless population has skyrocketed along with homeless crime. We moved further south because of the problem. The LA Times is a joke.&lt;p&gt;The LAPD are not the best police department in the country, but I do believe they&amp;#x27;re doing their best with a complex problem the rest of our society has chosen to ignore since the 1980s.&lt;p&gt;The homeless problem is not due to the police, but they are the ones we unfairly expect to deal with it.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>How We Found New Patterns in LA’s Homeless Arrest Data</title><url>https://source.opennews.org/articles/how-we-found-new-patterns-la-homeless-arrest/</url></story>
