> It is strange isn't it?

And I assume intentional. This is your work and submission. Exactly what statement are you trying to make? A way to deceive with diagrams?

EDIT: To explain, I haven't looked at the raw data, but reading the diagrams and taking the scale changes into account, there aren't especially big differences year to year, but you're led to believe there are. There could even be an overall nationwide decline for all I know, but the misleading rescaling makes it hard to determine by just looking at the images.

I suspect the "it is strange, isn't it" portion of the comment was meant to be a separate idea and the commenter just failed to make it a separate paragraph.

It (the strangeness) is referring to a separate idea in my post, which was the crime level in Washington DC, not the scaling.
