In the sentence about the crime rate decreasing after foot patrols and outreach, what is the main numerical change reported?

A 12% decrease in the crime rate.

The main numerical change being described is a drop of 12% in the crime rate. When the sentence says crime rate decreased after foot patrols and outreach, it’s giving the direction (decrease) and the magnitude (12%). This means the new rate is 12% lower than the prior rate, not that it fell by 12 percentage points or that it increased. The other options contradict the stated direction (increase), the lack of change, or the larger decrease.

A 12% increase in the crime rate.

No change in the crime rate.

A 20% decrease in the crime rate.
