San Francisco crime statistics compare favorably to other major U.S. cities on the surface, but one expert argues the city's numbers have covered up a problem for over a decade.

"Crime is worse than the data shows," Charles "Cully" Stimson, Heritage Foundation senior legal fellow and former prosecutor in San Francisco, told Fox News Digital. 

"People do not report these crimes because when you have a DA who's pro criminal and not going to enforce the law, the cops aren't going to go out and arrest somebody when they know the case is going to be no papered."

Stimson's comments come in the aftermath of the killing of tech executive Bob Lee, who was fatally stabbed in an area of San Francisco typically thought to be one of the city's safest and most upscale.
