They don’t even bother calling the police for people inside a store robbing the place blind….. no police report filed
But crime is down ….
At least anecdotal evidence is up!
Saw a tweet mentioning crime rates and assumed it was about the Biden Trump crime rate, so I did some fishing.
Didn't know this happened. Essentially no one can make accurate claims over the time period Biden is trying to to claim. Different methodologies.
Apparently DeSantis got called out for trying to say crime was down in Florida, when 40% of the agencies didn't report.
In 2021, the FBI changed how it collects data from police departments, and as a result, that year’s crime data missed nearly 40% of police agencies. Bureau analysts estimated the missing data with statistical modeling, but the change led to the most incomplete picture of national crime since the FBI began collecting data in the 1930s, which created confusion on how crime trends changed. Last year, the FBI reversed the change and revived the previously-retired data collection system. They also gave agencies that didn’t submit data for 2021 a chance to submit their data retrospectively. Nearly 2,500 agencies took the FBI’s offer and submitted crime data through the old system for 2022, but it’s unclear how many did for 2021.
Experts said the lingering effect of that transition could be why the 2021-2022 trend is unreliable: If the 2021 crime data remains incomplete, it is difficult to compare it with the 2022 data.
