Original Note:
It's true that revisions to FBI crime data show an increase in violent crime in 2022. But that's mostly due to a large downward adjustment of 2021 crime totals, which were overcounted, not to a surge of crime in 2022. 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
