(The Center Square) – While rising crime has numerous impacts on Arizonans, one consequence that is not always front of mind is the cost associated with crime.

According to a newly released report from the Common Sense Institute and the Arizona Chamber Foundation, the cost of crime in Arizona reached $20.6 billion in 2022 alone.


“This equals an average cost per Arizonan of $2,796, or for the median household, roughly $7,200 – nearly 10% of annual household income,” reads the report. “Most of these costs (87%) are due to the 167,853 violent crimes committed in 2022. The cost of crime in 2022 was 25% higher than it otherwise would have been if pre-2015 crime trends had continued. CSI estimates that this recent surge accounted for $4.1 billion of the total $20.6 billion cost of crime in 2022.”

There actually was no crime surge.  Global warming attacked the report's crime column and made it appear that way.
