After reviewing the 1,000 page source study (not really 1,000 pages) :-) I again state, you can make STATISTICS say anything. look at flat numbers. No formulas, no "corrections" no removal of this or that, or addition of this or that.

Here's something to chew on...if there were, before RTC, 1,000 murders and 500 agg assaults; then after RTC only 700 murders, yet 600 agg assaults, how would you rate this? The number of murders decreased, yet the number of agg assaults increased. Total crime dropped by 7%, but the agg assaults increased by 20%.

The reason the number of agg assaults increased could, for all intensive purposes, be because they were stopped before they became murders. Murder suspects are not typically charged with murder AND agg assault.

Stats are easily manipulated to say what you want.
