We decided to search Park City and Summit County. Some of the interesting findings are that violent crime has increased 300% between 2011 and 2013 (the last year available). In Summit County, only 17% of burglaries are solved. There&#8217;s as much violent crime in Park City, as there is in all of Summit County.<\/p>\n<p>This data comes from the FBI, which relies on local law enforcement to report information. So, there can be cases where some data is incomplete. Nonetheless it does paint a picture that you are far better off not becoming a victim. Especially with property crimes, it is highly unlikely you&#8217;ll get the outcome you hope for.<\/p>\n<p><em>Note: &#8220;Clearance Rate&#8221; in the graphic below means the number of crimes solved or the primary suspect is unable to be tried (i.e. they&#8217;ve died).<\/em><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.parkrag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/summit-crime.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.parkrag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/summit-crime.jpg\" alt=\"summit-crime\" width=\"794\" height=\"1193\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3298\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.parkrag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/pc-crime.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.parkrag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/pc-crime.jpg\" alt=\"pc-crime\" width=\"793\" height=\"1138\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3299\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to perform your own search, you can access their data here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/apps.npr.org\/dailygraphics\/graphics\/lookup-clearance-rates\/child.html?initialWidth=767&amp;childId=responsive-embed-lookup-clearance-rates\">NPR Data<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today on KPCW (NPR) they reported a story called Why 1\/3 of Murders Go Unresolved.
