Democrats want you to think crime is decreasing in the United States, and even cite data that shows their claims are valid. However, the truth is, is that violent crime is not declining; it has actually increased— but not being reported.
According to data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics and the FBI, crime is not decreasing but instead worsening under the current leadership.
Crime Prevention Research Center President John Lott explained that there are “two measures that the Department of Justice puts out on crime.” For example, in 2021, the FBI reported only 387 crimes committed per 100,000 people. The following year, the agency only reported 380.7 violent crimes per 100,000 people. However, data contradicts this number.
National Crime Victimization data found that violent crime increased by 42 percent in 2022.
