Between 2016 and 2020, violent crime fell by 17% under Trump — and soared by 43% under Biden between 2020 and 2022. Of course, news outlets routinely assert that Americans are mistaken in believing that violent crime is rising. But Democrats and the media don’t understand the difference between the number of crimes reported to police and the total number of crimes.

Mayor Giuliani in crime-ridden NYC instituted a zero-tolerance approach to crime-fighting, which allowed police to stop and frisk suspicious people and make arrests for minor infractions that once had been ignored.
This approach was based on a theory called “Broken Windows,” by criminologists George Kelling and James Q. Wilson, which contends that low-level disorder leads to increased blight and crime. Cracking down on minor offenses such as loitering, prostitution and aggressive panhandling is the way to prevent more serious ones but was criticized for being too aggressive about the enforcement of the laws ...
How would this work in “Woke” America?
Woke America is all about terrorizing the American population.
It’s pretty hard to “fake” a reduction in crime when the bullets are constantly flying in your neighborhood. If crime is going down, why are all the businesses closing down in the cities and fleeing? If police are not around because they too have fled, to whom would you report new crimes to update crime numbers?
Vic’s just pretending to have a knife scar across her face.
When the Soros D.A.s refuse to prosecute crimes, when the leftist Police Chiefs refuse to report the crimes to the feds, who refuse to put even the ones that they know about into the statistics they report, of course ‘crime goes down’..... For everyone but the people who actually experience the multitudinous crimes.
Who would have thought that criminals and the mentally ill would do dishonest things?
If you believe the Democrats and the media about crime being down, I have this list for you:

To whom would you report new crimes to update crime numbers? The coroner or local mortuary.
Gavin Newsom once said how murder rates were higher in red States than blue States.
I am not a statistician but I have a feeling such a statement is meaningless.
What is the murder rate of Tennessee overall if we would pull out the murder rate in Memphis , for example?
What is the murder rate of Illinois overall if we pull out Chicago’s numbers?
It’s hard to make much sense of a Statewide average when there are such big individual variances within a state.
Lies, damn lies, and statistics
