Crime in Oakland, California
Crime in Oakland began to escalate during the late 1960s, and by the end of the 1970s Oakland's per capita murder rate had risen to twice that of San Francisco or New York City.〔(Jerry Browns No-Nonsense New Age for Oakland by Heather Mac Donald, City Journal Autumn 1999 )〕 In 1983, the National Journal referred to Oakland as the "crime capital" of the San Francisco Bay Area. Crime continued to escalate during the 1980s and 1990s, and during the first decade of the 21st century Oakland has consistently been listed as one of the most dangerous large cities in the United States.〔(Oakland Moves From 3rd To 5th In Most Dangerous City Survey « CBS San Francisco )〕 However the homicide rate in Oakland has dropped substantially in the 21st century,〔(Oakland sees biggest drop in homicides since 2004 << San Jose Mercury News )〕 compared to the late 1980s and early 1990s.〔(Oakland Sets Record for Homicides << Los Angeles Times )〕 〔(Murder rates dropped in S.F., Oakland in '96 << SFGate )〕
Among Oakland's 35 police patrol beats, violent crime remains a serious problem in specific East and West Oakland neighborhoods. In 2008, homicides were disproportionately concentrated: 72% occurred in three City Council districts, District 3 in West Oakland and Districts 6 and 7 in East Oakland, even though these districts represent only 44% of Oakland's residents.〔http://www.urbanstrategies.org/programs/infotech/documents/2008_Homicide_Report.pdf〕
==Challenges of crime==
Crime remains one of Oakland's most serious challenges, and Oakland continues to have a reputation among its own citizens, its understaffed police force, and residents of other Bay Area cities as a dangerous place, with one of the top five highest rates of violent crime in the U.S.〔〔 According to Oakland Police Chief Anthony Batts, during 2011 Oakland has averaged three street shootings per day, some of which cause injury or death to innocent bystanders. Batts also said “You don’t want a police state, but you want enough () to deal with the demand in the city.”
The number of police officers in Oakland has steadily declined during the past several years. "But the men and women of the Oakland Police Department are still going out there and still stopping dangerous people, people with weapons, and trying to make a difference in the community," said Officer Jeff Thomason, a department spokesman.〔(Oakland Ranks Fifth In Crime Nationwide - News Story - KTVU San Francisco )〕
