Still, the city remains far safer than a decade ago, when 480 people were killed and there were 46% more robberies than this year.According to statistics from the Los Angeles Police Department, robberies were up by 13%, aggravated assaults were up by 10% and rapes were down by 4% through Dec. 17, compared with the same period last year. Homicides were up by 5%.Overall, violent crime was up by 10% over last year and 38% over two years ago.
