Big Drop In Crime

[ABNAK]

My guess is that less people are being charged or prosecuted.

This is the correct answer.

Forbes hasn't been a reliable source since at least the 90's. Shilling for the Usurper XiDen, as usual.

Let me guess.....They're using

statistics.

Yeah, like I'll ever believe them again in my life.

Homicides aren't the end all and be all of crime. Theft is huge right now, as are assaults. And yeah, a lot of it isn't being prosecuted.

There was a big spike in crime beginning of covid, now claimed a big drop. Whether that's Brandon admin playing with stats as election gets closer I can't say, but:

Homicides See Historic Decline In 2023 Despite Perceptions That Crime Is On The Rise

After the pandemic brought historic spikes in murders, the U.S. is poised to finish the year with a historic drop in homicides and drops in other crime categories, a finding that conflicts with public perceptions that crime is on the rise, according to a recent analysis of criminal justice data.

What you need to take into account is assaults and batteries, especially assaults with deadly weapons and aggravated batteries. A drop in homicides usually equates to improvements in medical tech/practices... not a drop in anything. So... look at how often we TRY to kill each other... THAT is the telling statistic for these discussions...and they're on the rise. We just got better at saving peoples' lives afterwards.

No report= no crime. Case in point: when I was an LEO we had a university in our city with it’s own sworn police department. For most on-campus crime greater than a misdemeanor they would call us to investigate and report. I asked their deputy chief who was on scene when I was taking a report one time why they called us and he told me they have to keep the stats for on-campus crime low. So the reports do not show up on their books when the city PD takes them.

Indeed, again, much the case in WA. Alot of what goes on isn't reported, because folks are either handling things themselves, or they know nothing will be done, so it's pointless.

Yup I have talks with our county judges about petty crime makes more victims than a homicide. Then our shitty prosecutors deal everything down to probation. The judge asked a probation officer what she felt was the percentage of people who fail probation at the start. She said easily 75%. Our prisons are closing down whole housing units because they don't have the bodies to put in them.

Our cities are burning, Fentinel is freely crossing the border along with millions of illegal men and women, human trafficking is rampant, and there is a new dollar limit on what constitutes a crime. But crime is lower thanks to JB? Whats next? They will claim our economy is booming!

Again, why are you believing anything coming out of the MSM especially statistics? Remember how the CDC and FBI data reports gun crimes to include suicides to inflate gun deaths? I mean you seriously can't be that gullible to believe stuff like this?

Oh BTW if you want to have a real laugh go look at what they put under Race compared to the picture of the mugshots of those who get caught doing violent crime and you'll realize how blatant the lies are.

What I read here are a lot of people describing the point at which local people return to addressing crimes outside the judicial system.
