Crime stats show a big improvement. So why do so many believe it’s never been worse? | The Excerpt



Crime in 2023 saw one of the largest declines in history. According to the FBI, murder is down double digits nationally. Violent crime, robberies, and burglary – all down. But if you ask the average American whether they think crime is under control, most will tell you it’s either extremely or very serious and over three quarters will say the problem is getting worse. The question is: why the disconnect? Ames Grawert, Senior Counsel at the Brennan Center for Justice, joins The Excerpt to discuss why the declining numbers and public perception of crime are so at odds.

  2. One party wants to extremely exagerrate crime by "bad blood" especially by minorities including immigrants, to trick people into voting for Republicans to "save" them and lower their taxes. It takes more taxes to better fund police departments.

  3. Because democrats lie about crime stats.

  4. Because fox watchers are stupid. Hense trump
