Crime Figures Down Across the US.

[snailspace]

Crime is down. The economy is strong.

Real Americans celebrate these facts.

But these positive conditions throw the lunatic fringe into an incoherent rage. They hate everything America stands for and want to tear it down.

I couldn’t care less about people’s opinions. Give me hard data.

As I said, crime is down and the economy is strong. Real Americans celebrate those facts.

Real Americans celebrate these facts.

Certain schools of socialistic political theory tell us that the criminal and dispossessed underclass will arise as a revolutionary vanguard at the time when capitalism draws near to its end state. That's possible, though I'm afraid it's also possible that they'll just keep shuffling into the slaughterhouse long after the owners are gone.

Cities in Red States & Blue States alike are safer. Crime is down and that's good news for everyone.

A good article about the perception of crime and the actual crime rate.

Why so many Americans have misconceptions about crime trends

According to the latest FBI data, violent crime and property crime are down sharply in 2024. The new data shows substantial drops in every category, including murder (-26.4%), rape (-25.7%), robbery (-17.8%), and property crime (-15.1%). These declines follow steep drops in violent crime and property crime in 2023.

It goes on to make several interesting points, including that homicides in Detroit are at their lowest since 1966.

The right wing loves to use Chicago as a bad example, but here are the facts:

There were 4,068 shootings in Chicago in 2020, the last year Trump was president. In 2023, Chicago had 2,942 shootings, a decline of 28%. Through June 15, shootings in Chicago are down another 5.6% year-to-date. Chicago is still a dangerous city, but violent crime has not plateaued — it has declined since Biden took office.

Another chart to work up on what actually is happening rather than what the Republican/Russian propagandists say is happening to flash at the coming presidential election debates.

Interesting

Lott claimed that only 8% of total violent crimes in cities result in arrest, and the number is even smaller for property crimes. Newsweek was not able to immediately verify those claims.

This may explain the "drop" in violent crime.....

Wrong, as usual.

Which States Publish Current Crime Data?

And note that Chicago is not a state.

Multiple data sources confirm that crime continues to decline:

Confidence in the assessment that the overall trends are correct comes from the matching data available from other sources. Our murder dashboard shows murder down nearly 19 percent this year in 265 cities and our sample at the end of Q1 2024 was down around 20 percent adding plausibility to the FBI’s findings of a large decline in murder nationally in 2024. I also published this morning about a large decline in auto thefts in cities with available data which is more or less in line with what the FBI is reporting. Finally, the Major Cities Chiefs Association showed a 17 percent decline in murder and an 8 percent decline in violent crime in 68 big cities for the first quarter of 2024.

I know you hate America’s success, but you’ll just have to accept that crime is falling. Real Americans celebrate America’s success.

I didn't deflect. Your post (point) was obtuse to begin with. I just offered up another version to illustrate how easy it is to cast blame on a "person".

No one said crime was non existent, it’s down. That’s a good thing. Why would anyone take exception to crime being down?

Conflating immigration with crime.

What a unique and on bigoted take

Wrong again!

The truth:

Only 1 of the 90 agencies representing 250,000 or more people failed to report data to the FBI in 2022 (Tucson, AZ) while 17 of the 329 cities over 100,000 failed to report. The vast majority of agencies that didn’t report in 2022 were small agencies representing populations between 0 and 10,000 — 2,667 of 3,158 (84%).

All the details:

Did 6,000 Agencies Fail To Report Crime Data in 2022?
