    Crime Is Falling

    So say the stats. The surveys also say Americans have been gaslit into thinking crime is worse than it actually is.

    Will you get robbed this year? How would you rate your chances? Over 10 years, from 1994 to 2004, the national Survey of Economic Expectations asked respondents…

    Need to find a source that is not politically biased. For instance, the actually sources they use would be helpful. Just not willing to waste time with the link given. Sincerely. bruce.

      Bureau of Justice is what data they are espousing.

          You non-voting Trumpers should be bragging about this.

              The only way crime may be reducing in democrat controled cities is that they are killing off so many who commit crimes in the first place. Good riddance.

                Politics.. a far left site not telling the truth using old stats
                They show the 2019 stat's/report..A year old at least, and which doesn't include this years burning, riots and crimes..

                And the murder rate was up even back a year ago. Also currently many crimes are not being responded to and or not reported due to the police personnel reductions or reassignments and don't forget the riots.

                  Ray there may be a short term blip that is Covid-related. Biggest area? Domestic abuse. Women and kids taking the brunt, as usual. But the long term trends have been for falling crime. Can you admit that or not?

                    Crime may have been falling before but that is old news..As it is now the worst ever..and I'm talking about all crimes and with no relief from it in sight..Especially with the reduction of the police budgets and personnel..

                      Then put up a link to the BOJ data. Just not interested in a link to a politically driven biased site. No different than linking to a neo-nazi site that makes statements based on information from otherwise legitimate sources. Sincerely. bruce.

                          Crime is falling because acts that were once criminal are now being tolerated or ignored by the police and other authorities.

                            Just yesterday's talking points. What the Marxists are reporting is old news. In Minneapolis and Portland alone there have been more than 10,000 felonies committed and just forgiven. Today the Marxists can burn, destroy, and murder with no penalty. I'd bet togor himself has committed dozens of crimes, burning books, flags, slandering and bribery. (How much money has passed hands between the stoogies?)

                            Chicago homicides increased by 139% in July, alone.

                            Crime is at a historic level but will be denied and ignored because history has been deemed inappropriate and Kristallnacht has become Kristalljahr.

                            Speaking of the ultra-wealthy who left amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Gov. Cuomo said, "We're trying to get people to come back."

                              Out of curiosity, how come people want to talk (incessantly, judging from the list of threads) about crime, but not Covid-19? Covid-19 is far more likely to kill the average forum member than crime. Seems like a choice that is out of line with any actual assessment of danger. Best guess is the usual reason, that it's bad news for their political camp, and bad news must be avoided at all costs.
