Disingenuous. No one said anyone created fake crime stats. It was under reported because it wasn’t worth the time and energy since major metro areas no longer enforce petty crime. This is public knowledge by people who don’t pretend to be stupid to try winning an argument on social media.
The crimes in the OP are not petty crimes

Usually these swings are due to larger societal inputs and not government action.
People just don't like to think life is as random as it is and want to think in terms of direct inputs affecting things directly. To reference Jurassic Park, it's our illusion of control.
And it takes a lot of research and analysis after the fact to figure out which variables are affecting things. We STILL don't really know why the great decline from the mid-90s to mid-2010s occurred OR why the great increase from the mid-70s to mid-90s occurred.

Bard referenced "the chaos of life" here before and that's really what it boils down to. So much is totally outside of our control and beyond prediction.

Right. We can't identify things until much later and we often lack the perspective to catch the same factors unfolding in real time later.

The mid-70s was 50 years ago.
We still have no clear, definitive explanation why crime spiked for 2 decades thereafter.

That doesn’t really matter. There are multiple examples of police departments cooking the books when it comes to crime reporting.
I’m not arguing that’s what’s happening here. But no one should rule it out as an impossibility just because major crime reports are down.

If that was really true on this topic, we would see a virtual roulette wheel of cities represented in the most violent cities list. We don’t.

We already know factors that influence crime so it's not surprising that the cities on those lists have larger populations of people impacted by those factors (poverty, substance abuse, unemployment, etc)

Prive that it is underreported.
Posted on 12/3/25 at 2:48 pm to LSUTANGERINE
How is reporting affecting these numbers?
Posted on 12/3/25 at 2:48 pm to 4cubbies
So it’s not chaotic and random. Agree on that.
