Violent crime was up in West Des Moines last year, and police say it's due to the city's growing population and more bars. According to The Des Moines Register, 25-rapes were reported, up from 15 in 2009; robberies went from seven to 14; aggravated assaults increased from 52 to 61. A police spokesperson says while the percentage increase are high, the total number of incidents involved is still low for a population of over 56-thousand.
