Biden and Harris keep claiming violent crime dropped over the last few years and they use FBI statistics to "prove" it. Well,the blue cities stopped sending in violent crime reports to the FBI to hide how bad it has gotten, and illegal aliens never report crimes because they fear being arrested.

John Lott thoroughly debunks the claim; violent crime rose preciptiously during the last few years.

Women account for the surge of Kommielove in the polls. I wonder how they like the violent crime? That has always been an issue for women, especially young single women.

As for the FBI stats, which are based on police precincts/departments reporting crime, on June 24, 2024, Breitbart News reportedthatthousands of police precincts had not been reporting crime data to the FBI.

The Marshall Projectexplainedthat in 2020 "almost every law enforcement agency was included in the FBI’s database.” However, in 2021, the FBI went to a new system for compiling data and would only accept police precinct reports through the new system.

The result? "Thousands of police agencies fell through the cracks because they didn’t catch up with the changes on time.” Thus, in 2022 there were far fewer police precincts turning in crime data; the Marshall Project reported in 2023 that "more than 6,000 law enforcement agencies were missing from the FBI’s national crime data last year, representing nearly one-third of the nation’s 18,000 police agencies.”

The point: Establishment media can report a decline in reported violent crime instances by relying on the FBI stats. So Lott looked at the unreported figuresto see what was really going on and found, "For instance, in 2022, the FBI reported a 2.1% drop in violent crime, but the NCVS showed an alarmingincrease of 42.4%— the largest one-year percentage increase in violent crime ever reported by that measure.”

Near the end of the op-ed Lott pointed out, "Murder rates did drop by 13% in 2023, although the preliminary 2023 murder rate is still7% above 2019 levels.”
