The UCR is not really great data for ranking cities.

There are unquestionably different attitudes towards crime, enforcement, and reporting when comparing SF to other cities.

Good points. I don’t know of anyone has done the kind of deep analysis they’re advocating for though.

As a broad brush, I still think it’s fair to say in 2019 SF was around the middle of the pack for the top 100 cities in terms of reported crime per 100k known people.
