This sounds like one of those things where it's just semantics that paint a misleading picture. Kinda like how they keep redefining obesity to make Americans fatter and fatter on paper.

For example, car break-ins have gotten so bad in parts of the country that people en masse are leaving their car doors open so thieves can rummage through and discover there's nothing to steal without breaking a window to do it. If breaking a window is a crime, but looking in an open door isn't, the numbers would go down, wouldn't they?

Car break ins is only one type of crime. And yes it is one that's going up. When it comes to total numbers it's all the crimes together.

Now they do need to crack down on car break ins as yeah that's a problem that needs to be dealt with.
