Matawan saw a slight decrease in violent crime in February of this year when compared to February 2012.

In February 2013, the New Jersey State Police Uniform Crime Reporting Unit placed a link on its web site connecting users to very recent and comparative crime data for municipalities and counties. The data is updated every week, or as often as municipalities provide fresh numbers. 

Data is compared to the same month of the previous year. Aberdeen's February numbers were not yet available.
