significantly too small a sample size and self reported data without independent review..as is shown here.. belies claims of crime is down. It depends on location/reportage..the migrant crime is particularly disturbing

Laura Cooper, executive director for MCCA, told Fox News Digital they request violent crime data from their member agencies, which include only the largest police departments across the U.S. This data is shared voluntarily every quarter by the departments themselves. MCAA does not use public or open-source data and only includes participating agencies.
However, when examining a longer time frame rather than just year-to-year comparisons, the data — potentially affected by underreporting or changes in crime classification — reveals crime is actually trending upward.
The most flagrant example is publicly on the Philadelphia website," Kennedy said. "There are twice as many murders in Philadelphia in the period they're describing than what the MCCA reported."

Biden-Harris admin says crime is down, but independent data shows violent crime up across 66 cities
Despite the Biden-Harris White House's claims of reduced violent crime under their administration, reports show rising crime rates compared to pre-COVID levels.
However, when examining a longer time frame rather than just year-to-year comparisons, the data — potentially affected by underreporting or changes in crime classification — reveals crime is actually trending upward.
The most flagrant example is publicly on the Philadelphia website," Kennedy said. "There are twice as many murders in Philadelphia in the period they're describing than what the MCCA reported."
