BITE OUT OF CRIME: Since Duncan became sheriff, crime rates in his jurisdiction have
declined at about the same rate as the general downward trend throughout the state,
and they are similar to other comparably sized counties. Like other population centers,
the city of Asheville’s crime rate is significantly higher than that of the areas that surround
it. For more graphs comparing crime rates, see this story online, later this week, at mountainx.
