HoustonChronicle - Major crime in Texas sees big jump in 2001

Major crime rose nearly 4 percent in Texas last year -- almost five times the national increase -- halting a decade-long nationwide decline to record low rates, according to FBI statistics released Monday.

The state's figures increased last year in every category -- homicides, aggravated assaults, rapes, property crimes, burglaries, auto theft and larceny.
