Statistician: Sorry, Crime’s Not Falling

The left claims crime’s declining, yet “the nation’s largest crime survey says otherwise,” corrects Jeffrey H. Anderson in The Wall Street Journal. Indeed, the just-released National Crime Victimization Survey “finds no statistically significant evidence” that violent crime or property crime is dropping. Rather, a crime “spike” is “concentrated in urban areas,” where “leftist prosecutors have gained a foothold.” There, violent crime rose 40% from 2019 to 2023; property crime, up 26%. And the survey doesn’t even measure “rampant shoplifting.” For numerous technical reasons, such “findings are far more reliable” than the FBI figures the left cites. And they make clear the urban spike isn’t abating. “If we insist on rerunning the failed social experiments of the 1960s and ’70s, we should expect similar results.”

Last evening on ABC's Evening News anchor David Muir (yeah, the debate moderator) stated crime is at the lowest ebb in the U.S. going back some 60 years to the 1960’s.

1. Govt officials always lie and say crime is falling.

2. Many people don’t report crimes since they know the cops won’t do anything.

Didn't know that. But I remember Peter Jennings.
