Amazing the way people can be convinced that vilification of communities is needed. Remember to vote against people who lie to you.

Now the crimes are committed by our leaders and the rich instead.

Part of me wonders if the crime used to be more centralized in downtown areas where the people who were impacted were roughly in the same areas.
Over time, it’s reduced overall, but spread out more, so you get larger groups of people complaining, plus news coverage and leaders using it to get votes, and it “feels” like it’s worse

No matter how much data you show them some people will always think crime is worse than it is I’m not sure why but I guess people just fear the unknown and it’s as simple as that. Data don’t lie. There’s no way there’s been a concerted effort by every single law enforcement agent in the entire United States for the past 30 years to lie and say crime is going down if they want to keep their jobs they would have said crime is going up right. So sad

I’m a little surprised that robbery didn’t go up

That’s a really nicely done article.

“Crime rate” is such a nefarious piece of propaganda used to manufacture consent into overfunding law enforcement and detracting attention away from the criminals that have systemic power over our access to food, water, shelter, education, sanitation, and safety. Our president is a a 34-time convicted criminal. And he’s the one with access to nuke codes. In fact, most of the most powerful human beings on this planet (let alone the USA) are convicted criminals that have done some of the worst crimes known to humanity.
The “violent crime, homicide, aggregated assault, and robbery” committed by the poor, the uneducated, and the oppressed is far outweighed by the crime that the rich and powerful perform on a daily, systemic basis. I’d much rather see a datagraphic about the millions, if not billions of people affected by ruling class evil. Maybe that’d get y’all to actually care about “law and order”.

crime in America peaked 18 years after Roe v. Wade was passed.

There are cameras everywhere now. The risk is higher of getting caught.

I think it’s harder to be a criminal nowadays and get away with it. Cars are more difficult to steal and parts are serial stamped. Surveillance is everywhere since it is cheap and cloud connected. Law enforcement now has access to technology where they can track the exact path the perpetrator took through reviewing all the traffic cameras. Walmart and Target can track shoplifters from multiple angles and have police onsite before they can leave the store. Actually, crime is probably still easier than getting work in this job market.

Now overlay it with local news coverage of crime… the results may shock you after this break.
