FBI adjusted data shows an overcounting of violent crime incidents in 2021 by 55,786 and an undercounting of violent crime incidents in 2022 by 24,243. The 2022 rate grew but the 2021 rate dropped. So there were actually 31,500 fewer incidents than previously reported. https://crimeresearch.org/2024/10/the-revised-fbi-crime-data-reveals-that-it-originally-missed-1699-murders-in-2022-given-that-almost-all-murders-are-reported-how-does-the-fbi-miss-that-many-murders/ https://crimeresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Table_1_Crime_in_the_United_States_by_Volume_and_Rate_per_100000_Inhabitants_2004-2023.xlsx https://crimeresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Table_1_Crime_in_the_United_States_by_Volume_and_Rate_per_100000_Inhabitants_2003-2022.xlsx
