RealClear Investigations discovered the stealth edit: 'violent crime increased in 2022 by 4.5%.'
The Democrats, media, and the left latched onto the FBI’s first report that said violent crime fell in 2022 by 2.1%.: “The 2022 violent crime rate has been updated for inclusion in CIUS, 2023.” But there is no mention that the numbers increased. One only sees the change by downloading the FBI’s new crime data and comparing it to the file released last year.It’s been over three weeks since the FBI released the revised data.
The actual changes in crimes are extensive. The updated data for 2022 report that there were 80,029 more violent crimes than in 2021. There were an additional 1,699 murders, 7,780 rapes, 33,459 robberies, and 37,091 aggravated assaults. The question naturally arises: should the FBI’s 2023 numbers be believed?Murder is reported for obvious reasons. But people report motor vehicle thefts for insurance purposes.
For a better read on employment use the household survey data and ADP. For crime data looking at the reported crime data v the FBI data can help offset the chicanery by following the trendline on crimes reported by type.Below is one of the MANY ‘fact-checks’ by the media immediately after the Harris/Trump debate.
