It's called "re-arranging", I mean "re-classifying" the Part I crimes so that they're no longer felonies, therefore, they will not be included in the total. For example, burglaries or Burg From Motor Vehs can be re-classified as Vandalisms if nothing was taken. Or an ADW (Assault with Deadly Weapon) can be re-classified as Battery, which is a misdemeanor, if they consider the injury to be minor. This is another example of bean-counting at its finest!!! Anything to make the Boss (Bratton) look good.
