Report: Urban Violent Crime Spikes 40% Under Biden-Harris

Violent crime in urban America soared 40 percent from 2019 to 2023 under the Biden-Harris administration, according to the latest National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) run by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) and administered by the Census Bureau.

The finding contradicts an establishment media narrative that crime fell under the Biden-Harris administration. For example, ABC’s David Muir made the claim when he tried to fact-check former President Donald Trump during the presidential debate. The data, published in September 2024, is based on official estimates of nonfatal criminal victimizations reported and not reported to police from BJS’s NCVS. The report describes the characteristics of crimes and victims via 230,000 U.S. residents who are asked if they have been the victims of crimes. The survey is the 51st in the series, dating back to the Nixon administration. “Excluding simple assault — the type of violent crime least likely to be charged as a felony — the violent crime rate in 2023 was 19% higher than in 2019, the last year before the defund-the-police movement swept the country,” Jeffrey H. Anderson, the former director of the Bureau of Justice Statistics from 2017-21, reported of the data in the Wall Street Journal:

Yes, there have been many anecdotal reports from people who would know that such statistics have been both suppressed (by going uncounted) and artificially reduced by prosecutors’ failures to file charges as they had in under previous presidential administrations.

If it was from 2019 to 2023, wouldn’t it be under Trump and Biden-Harris?

Because of policies put in place by the previous administration? You know that’s where they’ll go.

Hell, why shouldn’t it? If you defend yourself or someone else during a crime and the perp gets hurt, one way or another, depending on what state and/or city you’re in you could be the one arrested and maybe charged and Imprisoned or sued.

If PDs are still refusing to send their data to the Feebs, if the data that is being sent is cooked...

You can bet that 40% is lowball.

Dem 1: “Crimes dropped during the Biden-Harris Administration.”
Dem 2: “Sir, the facts don’t agree with that.”

Dem 1: “Well then, we’ll simply change the facts.”

There are a lot of clickbaits now showing the FBI has announced crime is down. NPR,NYT,Axios,AP, NBC....

Does this prove the FBI is in the Dem campaign, and part of the biased government taking away our rights and freedoms?

“If it was from 2019 to 2023, wouldn’t it be under Trump and Biden-Harris?”

From the article: “the violent crime rate in 2023 was 19% higher than in 2019,”

Yes they use the same number system they use for border crossings because they fly them in.

Don’t count any of the problems motto.
