Can we trust any of Houston's crime statistics? After all, it has been reported that the Houston police department were playing with the numbers in order to have us believe that crime was low. According to FBI statistics:
Hate crimes in Texas fell to their lowest level in five years and Houston has the lowest per-capita rate of hate crimes among the nation's 10 largest cities.
There were 7,722 hate crimes motivated by prejudice against race, religion, sexual orientation or a disability in the United States in 2006, according to the FBI. That included 245 in Texas.
Are these figures legit?
