Violent Crime Plummeting

[Lastamender]

That article is from 2012; it's not even current.

So to be clear, your argument is that when crime stats are up they're all telling the truth, but when the stats come down they're all lying? Does crime never come down? Does it only go up and stay there forever?

What does letting people go right after they are arrested do for those stats? Criminals are the new protected class along with illegals.

So according to the article, it shot up during Corona. It then went back down after Corona. Wow, lemme process that one.

I knew your reply would engage in the time worn falafy of attacking the messenger.

You sure as shit can’t address anything of substance.

Case in point, you idiots simply attacking the FBI.

The genetic fallacy: When is it okay to criticize a source?

Last week, I wrote a post on the hierarchy of scientific evidence which included the figure to the right. In that post, I explained why some types of scientific papers produced more robust results …

Good stuff. Many of the factors that came to the fore during COVID are receding.

Violent crime fell in the first quarter of 2024 by more than 15%, continuing its postpandemic decline nationwide, according to data released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.​

​

Homicides and reported rapes both declined about 26% in the first three months of 2024 compared with a year earlier, data from the FBI’s quarterly uniform crime report showed. Robberies were down about 18% and aggravated assault fell by about 13%, the FBI said. Reported property crime declined about 15%.​

​

The homicide rate continues to fall in big U.S. cities after skyrocketing during the first two years of the Covid-19 pandemic. Police officials and criminologists have said the factors that contributed to an increase in violent confrontations in the early days of the pandemic are receding.​

You guys are too funny. When violent crime skyrockets to the tallest building in the world, then you claim it is plummeting when it goes down, even as it is still very high.

You idiots blindly support them despite evidence that they often lie.

 

[BackAgain]

Have you been a victim of violent crime?

Why is that question of any relevance?

What about your neighborhood?

Again, what difference does it make?

How about answering my question.

The phrase "continues to fall" is a statistical trick and relatively meaningless.

Zero Hedge (or ZeroHedge)[a] is a far-right[13] libertarian[18] financial blog and news aggregator.[14][15][19] Zero Hedge is bearish in its investment outlook and analysis, often deriving from its adherence to the Austrian School of economics and credit cycles.[20] It has been described as a financial "permabear".[21][22]

Over time, Zero Hedge expanded into non-financial political content,Zero Hedge - Wikipedia including conspiracy theories and fringe rhetoric[3][24] advancing radical right,[15][25] alt-right,[26][27][28] and pro-Russia positions.[1][29][30][31] Zero Hedge's non-financial commentary has led to multiple site bans by global social media platforms, although its 2019 Facebook ban[32][33] and 2020 Twitter ban were later reversed.[15][34]

Ok, cute. So you attack the source, not the substance.

Here, attack this source:

Politicians love to cite crime data. It’s often wrong. • Kansas Reflector

Across the country, law enforcement agencies’ inability — or refusal — to send their annual crime data to the FBI has resulted in a distorted picture of the United States’ crime trends, according to a new Stateline analysis of the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting program participation data."

kansasreflector.com

Prior to 2021, 23% of U.S. law enforcement agencies on average did not report any crime data to the FBI. In 2020, 24% of agencies did not report, and in 2021, it surged to 40%.

40% of all agencies stopped reporting crime to the FBI. So no, fucking moron, crime isn't down. REPORTED crime is down. ACTUAL crime is skyrocketing.

If you're stupid enough to believe that crime is DOWN, then I'm going to sell you my bridge for a great deal. And it comes with free handrails, too.

Toro, you're a fucking idiot. You're as dumb as a doorknob, too.

FBI says crime has plummeted to start 2024 - but is missing a big part of the data

Data informing the FBI’s figures is supplied voluntarily by law enforcement agencies across the US, and do not include major metropolitan areas including Los Angeles and New York, where crime is historically high

Cook them books little crime stat “reporters.” The gullible will be thrilled to seek comfort in the phonies up reports.

When states like Cali and NY don’t report their stats to the fbi, you can’t really believe this

Two words Richard Jewell

Wasn’t he the Olympic Security Guard who saw an abandoned backpack and sounded the alarm so nobody would get hurt. Then the FBI accused him of the crime and investigated him for months before deciding that he was innocent because the real bomber was Eric Rudolph?
