One of these days I might bother myself to learn how to link pictures and such. That said, this has a chart of the New York and national violent crime rates for the last 50 years. Note just how high they were in the 90s as compared to now and realize once again that some people will believe anything.

I was there in the 90s to see the spike and drop in crime. We were having over 2000 murders per year at one point.

I see two peaks also, one in 1981, when Reagan was POTUS, and one in 1990, when Bush Sr was POTUS. Hmm.
 

New FBI statistics show continued drop in US crime in first six months of 2024​


“… The new numbers show murders from January to June dropped 23% compared with the same period in 2023, while violent crime fell 10% and reported rapes decreased by 18%. Aggravated assaults during that period decreased 8% year over year, according to the data, while robberies fell 14% and reported property crime was down 13%.

…
The preliminary figures in the FBI’s Quarterly Uniform Crime Report, which covers January through June, come with important limitations. For one, the bureau relies upon data voluntarily submitted by policing agencies.

The numbers released Monday were gathered from more than 14,800 of the just over 19,300 law enforcement agencies from across the country, according to the bureau. The new preliminary figures do not include data from Los Angeles and may only include partial figures from Chicago. …

The latest preliminary snapshot of falling crime rates in 2024 comes a week after the FBI issued a more fulsome report outlining its finalized numbers for 2023, which showed a drop in crime last year across numerous categories.

The 2023 report, which included figures from every major city in the nation, showed a dramatic 12% drop in murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, as well as a 3% fall in violent crime.“
 
I found this looking for something else. These is from 2022. It might illustrate why Republicans believe what they do about crime.

Maybe it is because I use the forum’s blue background, but this formatting is tough to see/read.

FBI quietly changed violent crime data to show increase, not decrease, from 2021 to 2022

Interesting and worth investigation to confirm if accurate. FTR, I went first to the 2022 FBI crime status released in October 2023, which indicates an ongoing transition to NIBRS collection system:


"... The FBI announced to law enforcement agencies it would transition to the more comprehensive NIBRS collection. Last year, the data was exclusively collected via NIBRS. Both the NIBRS, 2021 and Crime in the United States (CIUS), 2021 releases were based solely on NIBRS submissions. While in the transition period to NIBRS, the UCR Program published a limited release of the traditional CIUS, 2021, along with a trend study comparing 2020 and 2021 crime data using a selection of the new NIBRS estimation data.

For the 2022 data year, to provide nationally representative data, the FBI accepted NIBRS data and SRS data submissions from agencies. NIBRS data was submitted by 13,293 law enforcement agencies whose jurisdictions covered more than 256 million United States inhabitants. SRS data was accepted from 2,431 non-transitioned agencies representing 55,441,278 inhabitants. These agencies added an additional 16.6% population coverage, bringing the total national population coverage for Crime in the Nation, 2022 to 93.5%.

The FBI’s crime statistics estimates for 2022 show that national violent crime decreased an estimated 1.7% in 2022 compared to 2021 estimates:

  • Murder and non-negligent manslaughter recorded a 2022 estimated nationwide decrease of 6.1% compared to the previous year.
  • In 2022, the estimated number of offenses in the revised rape category saw an estimated 5.4% decrease.
  • Aggravated assault in 2022 decreased an estimated 1.1% in 2022.
  • Robbery showed an estimated increase of 1.3% nationally. ..."
