No, it’s not technically wrong for what it is. It just doesn’t represent reality.

When police departments have stopped reporting data
Some are not allowed to or are strongly discouraged from making arrests depending on who commits the crime and the type of crime. Those are numbers that were previously reported and now are not.

It’s been reclassified, dismissed, and not prosecuted and throw in the fired person who manipulated the stats before reporting them to the FBI and then you get falling into the abyss.

Not when we can look at the individual city-level data and compare the FBI modeling.

Again, are you assuming they don't keep their own data? And we can't go look it up?

IIRC, when we looked at this last year, the city-level data showed bigger decreases than the modeled data

Yay! Murders are going to be back at 2019 totals. The highest number prior to the pandemic since 2003?
What a win. Take a victory lap.

It just needs perspective, per Neighborhood Scout
Crimes per square mile
Tuscaloosa- 60
Birmingham- 83
Baton Rouge- 185
New Orleans- 105
Washington DC - 517
Anyone arguing that’s not bad is too stupid to process their own oxygen.

Are people arguing it's not bad or that it's falling? Those are 2 distinct positions.

Yes. Numbnuts.

When looking at crime numbers I tend to focus on murders rather than assaults and property crimes for the simple reason that a corpse is going to be tallied more reliably that a missing item or a report of an armed robbery.

In this thread?

When you give up on policing arrest numbers fall. It doesn't make the streets any safer though.

This is the best way to do it, for those reasons. It's hard to hide a murder, let alone several/dozens of them.

Homicide rates in D.C. increased from 2017-21, before dropping sharply in 2022, and spiking again in 2023. The number of homicides in D.C. per year has been decreasing since 2023 — from 274 homicides in 2023, to 187 in 2024.

Ok. It is still too high.

There are ways to change the way stats are recorded. Change the shootings ultimate outcome to arrival condition to the ER.

Crime rates fell nationwide in 2024 according to FBI data, with a 4.5 percent decrease in violent crime.

Years ago, a city in our county classified a case of a body found in the trunk of a car with multiple gunshots as a suicide. You can always manipulate statistics.

When police departments have stopped reporting data to the FBI what do you think that does to the number of murders reported?
