Another day, another "L" for Dajo.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2024/09/19/media_push_misleading_crime_stats_protect_democrat_narrative__151645.htmlThe latest data
released last Thursday from the Department of Justice's National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) reveal a sharp increase in violent crime under the Biden-Harris administration compared to when Trump left office.
During the debate, Mr. Muir
noted: "President Trump, as you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is coming down in this country." But Mr. Muir would have been much more accurate if he said that the number of crimes
reported to police fell, which isn't the same as total crime. He might also have conceded, as Trump pointed out in his response, that fewer than half of police departments reported complete data to the FBI in 2022.
Since victims don't report most crimes, the NCVS was set up over fifty years ago to get a measure of total crime. The survey interviews 240,000 people each year.
Since 2020, total serious violent crime (rape, robbery, and aggravated assault), the categories that correspond to the FBI's measure of violent crime, has soared. Total violent crime was 55.4% higher in 2023 than when the Biden-Harris administration took office. Rapes were up by 42%, robbery by 63%, and aggravated assault by 55%.
The increases during the Biden-Harris administration are by far the largest percentage increases over any three-year period on record, more than doubling the previous record.
Even after several days, the media has failed to mention these huge increases.
