In a development attributed in part by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy using “smart, data-driven” policies, Connecticut saw its violent crime rate drop in 2016 to its lowest level in a half-century. As for the criminals that target the bank accounts of consumers and businesses? For the first time in eight years, arrests increased in Connecticut as bad actors continued to exploit weaknesses where they can find them. In 2016, arrests of people suspected of fraud and embezzlement increased 12 percent in Connecticut to just over 1,050 cases, according to new FBI data released Monday, slightly behind a 14 percent rise in the white-collar crimes nationally.
