Crime is plummeting according to the FIB, er, FBI.
According to the folks who brought you Russian Collusion:
Reported incidents of violent crime dropped 15% between January and March of this year compared to the same period last year, according to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Data.
Murders dropped by more than 26% in the same time period, the data shows.
The FBI has not released details about the number of incidents for the categories of crime. It will do so when 80% participation levels are met, the agency said.

"This data makes clear that last year's historic decline in violent crime is continuing," Garland said in a statement highlighting the new statistics.
Does anyone at all believe this?
First, absolutely nothing has changed to reduce crime. Enforcement is way DOWN, not up. Even if liberal theory were correct about law and order the fact is there is nothing happening that would discourage crime. On the contrary, the high cost of living would mean a rise.
IF these statistics are not dishonest (a big if) then it is a coefficient of the stoppage of crime enforcement; we aren't keeping records because otherwise we'd have to actually do something about the matter.
This is clearly an attempt to help Joe Biden shore up support from middle America. It's a damnable lie.
