Crime in Los Angeles has varied throughout time, reaching a peak between the 1970s and 1990s. Since then, crime has declined significantly. 2012 marked the 10th straight year that crime has declined in the city.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/los-angeles-crime-rate-falls-10th-straight-year-article-1.1235916 )〕 Los Angeles now has the lowest crime rate in the country for cities with a population over 2 million people.〔 In 2013, Los Angeles reported 246 homicides, which corresponds to a rate of 6.3 per 100,000 population—a notable decrease from 1980, when the all time homicide rate of 34.2 per 100,000 population was reported for the year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Uniform Crime Reports of Los Angeles and Index from 1985 to 2005 )〕 The city is patrolled by the Los Angeles Police Department. == Watts Riots == (詳細はWatts, when Lee Minikus, a California Highway Patrol motorcycle officer, pulled Marquette Frye over. Minikus believed Frye was intoxicated because of observing his driving which Minikus believed to be erratic. While police questioned Marquette Frye and his brother Ronald Frye, a group of people began to gather. The mob began to throw rocks and other objects and shout at the police officers. A struggle ensued shortly after Frye's mother, Rena, arrived on the scene, resulting in the arrest of all three family members. As a result of the riots, 34 people were officially reported killed (28 of those were African American), 1,032 people were injured, and 4,000 people were arrested. Among the dead were a fireman, an L.A. County deputy sheriff and a Long Beach police officer. The injured included 773 civilians, 90 Los Angeles police officers, 136 firefighters, 10 national guardsmen, and 23 persons from other governmental agencies. 118 of those injured were injured by firearms. Six-hundred buildings were damaged or destroyed, and an estimated $35 million in damage was caused. Most of the physical damage was confined to businesses that were said to have caused resentment in the neighbourhood due to perceived unfairness. Homes were not attacked, although some caught fire due to proximity to other fires. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Crime in Los Angeles」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
