Crime's rise in DTLA has residents, businesses worried

Listen to the full conversation using the audio player above.

The revitalization of downtown is one of the biggest success stories in Los Angeles.

DTLA has grown to become a top destination for shopping, restaurants and nightlife.

But that rise might turn into a fall because of crime.

Between 2014 and 2016, violent and property crimes increased by over a third.

That has stakeholders in the neighborhood worried about its future, says Eddie Kim with LA Downtown News.
