While Coto de Caza also shows a significant increased in the crime and vandalism rate in 1Q2008 as compared to the last quarter in 2007, there is no apparent trend. The only apparent trend is that the crime and vandalism rate decreases for two quarters, only to swing to an all time high, followed by two quarters. One possible interpretation is that public safety within Coto de Caza is not managed at all.
