Not violent crime. I'll point out, for those interested in an honest discussion, that the aggravated assault category encompasses a lot of crimes. Attempted murder, assault with a firearm, assault with a deadly weapon and assault by means liable to produce great bodily injury. There are others, but suffice to say if you get shot at but not killed your attack falls under "aggravated assault" Seeing as how that category of crime is up from 7-16% (again the only exception being areas under 10k population) we're talking about a very serious rise in some very serious crimes committed at large numbers, making the percentage increases, as you so helpfully pointed out, especially significant. But ignore that, crime "as a whole" is down, so consider yourself fortunate.
