Original Note:
The FBI’s 2023 data show murder declined by 13.2% & violent crime dropped 5.7% compared to 2022. In fact, violent crime is up from 2019 levels, and last year’s "drop" is less significant than it appears. The problem is how police departments report offenses to the FBI. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/fairness-justice/2953562/bad-data-from-the-fbi-mislead-about-crime/
