Passage Summary: The author claims the town is getting more dangerous for everyone because the police are receiving more calls about violent crimes.

Conclusion: The typical resident of this town is now more likely to be a victim of a violent crime.

Reasoning: Local police have seen a 17 percent increase in calls related to violent crimes compared to the previous year.

Analysis: The author assumes that an increase in police calls directly translates to an increase in the actual risk for every citizen. To weaken this, we need to find a reason why calls might go up even if the actual danger hasn't changed, or why those calls don't represent the 'average' person. Perhaps people are just reporting crimes more frequently than they used to, or maybe the increase is entirely contained within a small, specific group of people rather than the general population. Look for an answer that provides an alternative explanation for that 17 percent spike.
