A few years back, I asked a retired LEO about this very subject. He told me that it's been going on for a long time in certain high crime cities and states. The municipalities have developed the techniques of under-reporting crime to a high art form and the feds (to whom reports are sent) are generally aware of the deceit.

Might the DOJ want to investigate?

Maybe congress should make it a major crime to knowingly under, or misreport crime stats on fed forms.

That would simply become another crime to under-report.
