The Bureau of Justice Statistics Crime Data just released its 2x a year NCVS (survey) that contradicts, yet again, numbers that we were led to believe were favorable to the current administration.
I know lots of people in Seattle who have been violent crime victims and they stopped reporting the crimes. I imagine in many high-crime metro areas the actual numbers are likely higher. However the reported rate and arrest rates can skew the outcomes and perceptions.
Yes, John Lott addresses all of that. He is my go-to for these types of subjects. It's just reprehensible the havoc that has been wreaked since 2020, courtesy of our "leaders".
The media and Democrats like to state crime has dropped and they refer to the FBI UCR. However, most major cities are no longer reporting their crime stats and that skews the numbers. I like seeing the NCVS data.
There’s lies, damned lies, and nearly every statistic put out by the academic/political/professional left.
YES! And it's a DAMN shame!

Agreed. The NCVS really is the gold standard.
