Overall crime rate inches upward while county experiences a slight drop
Overall crime in Wall Township increased in 2011 from 2010, according to data released with the state's 2011 Uniform Crime Report. The increase was owed entirely to a jump in the number of nonviolent crimes recorded in the township, bucking statistics found in greater Monmouth County, where crime was on the wane from 2010 to 2011. However, Wall's experience is in keeping with what the state saw overall, as there was a 3 percent increase in overall crime in New Jersey from 2010 to 2011, with increases in murder, robbery and rape. Wall recorded 475 total incidents in 2011, up from 410 in 2010. However, the vast majority of crimes recorded were nonviolent — categorized as burglaries, larcenies, motor vehicle thefts and arson — with 459 …
