...larcenies that make up an important part of its crime index. Obviously, the shrinking value of the dollar changes the meaning of those figures; partly as a result, larceny has been the fastest-growing category on the crime index recently. Another example: for as long as anyone has kept track, youths from the mid-teens to early 20s have committed the largest number of offenses in all categories.
