Major Drop In Violent Crime The 'Largest' Decline In Decades
Despite Donald J. Trump's claims, crime across the United States has dropped. And for any fans of the felon's who think these are made-up stats from the FBI, there was no evidence of a spike in violent crime before this report came out -- aside from the fabrications coming from the former President who wants to get back in the White House to continue his crime spree.
The only significant increase in crime was car theft, which grew by nearly 13%. The FBI said the change between 2022 and 2023 represents the "largest drop" in decades.
NBC News reports:
Crime, including serious violent incidents like murder and rape, dropped nationally from 2022 to 2023, according to new data released by the FBI on Monday.
Violent crime was down about 3% from 2022 to 2023, and property crime took a similar drop of 2.4%, the FBI reported in its annual "Summary of Crime in the Nation." The most serious crimes went down significantly: murder and non-negligent manslaughter were down an estimated 11.6% — the largest single year decline in two decades — while rape decreased by an estimated 9.4%.
Preliminary numbers showed that 2024 crime numbers were also dropping for the early part of this year, continuing a trend of easing crime as the U.S. has come out of the pandemic.
