The U.S. crime rate is still dropping, FBI data shows

New FBI data confirms previous indications that crime in the U.S. declined significantly in 2023, continuing a post-pandemic trend and belying widespread perceptions that crime is rising.

The new fourth-quarter numbers showed a 13% decline in murder in 2023 from 2022, a 6% decline in reported violent crime and a 4% decline in reported property crime. Thats based on data from around 13,000 law enforcement agencies, policing about 82% of the U.S. population, that provided the FBI with data through December.

It suggests that when we get the final data in October, we will have seen likely the largest one-year decline in murder that has ever been recorded,

Eh this doesn't seem to be entirely accurate. Hundreds of not thousands of videos of crimes are posted everyday online, and those are the ones that were recorded. Pretty sure a decent amount of criminals manage to get away with their crimes too. Considering that and how many mass shootings we have it's definitely still a good idea to keep your head in a swivel. Not trying to say things haven't been improving under Biden or anything. Mostly feels the same.

Democrats and Biden need to actually message this more.

Message more on crime and the economy doing much better.

It's true Republicans are lying it's bad, but Biden/Democrats are kind of just letting them lie by not really pushing consistently just how much of a lie it is. They will comment every once in a while about it, but the American independent and swing voters have the memory of a goldfish. You have to constantly and consistently remind them crime is down and the economy is doing much better than Trumps presidency.

Their usual angle is to either pretend it's still bad. Or if it's harder to pretend it's still bad, claim the evidence presented to them isn't the real evidence.

Just remember what you are trying to spin was also happening under dear leader Trump. Crime during Trumps presidency was stats that was "REPORTED crimes and stuff that doesn't get reported doesn't get added to the stats."

Crime didn't suddenly stop being reported when Biden became president, "so we can hide the real numbers."

Like I swear some of the things Trump supporters say,they don't stop to think their own logic applies to dear leader too. It's not even that they don't think it should, the thought just doesn't even cross their mind.

The biggest drawback to those nationwide crime reports is it's only for reported crimes. That's how it's been. I'm just stating the truth, no bias on my end.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

It's most definitely happened. A good way for police to get better budgets is to show crime is down across the board and it looks like they're doing their jobs.

Need to be careful on this, actually. If you start to come out and say that crime is coming down, people can turn against you if they do not feel that crime is clming down--even if you have the stats to back it up.

At the end of the day, people's feels matter a lot. Even if they aren't always rational.

You aren't saying anything. What you are saying applies to all presidential terms. Not just Bidens.

So you are trying to spin this the "real numbers" bs. You want facts? Crime was worse under Trump, and the nationwide crime report only applying to reported crimes applies to your dear leader too. Meaning those "real numbers" you are alluding to were even worse under Trump.

While the crime rate going down nationally is obviously a good thing, it's not exactly a comforting statistic when crime in your locality is going up. My city (Seattle) just had the highest number of homicides since '94 and the overall crime rate has only been trending up since the early 2000s.

People feel crime isnt down despite the facts because unfortunately Republicans are just better at messaging. Ultimately controlling people's feelings.

When Republicans have a win, they don't celebrate or message on it here and there. They repeat it at nauseum to make sure the American people, and more importantly those swing voters hear it and think it's true. Democrats don't do that, they message on it here and there, but for the most part they let Republicans take the steering wheel on the narrative. Democrats believe the facts will speak for itself, and that the American people are paying attention to the facts.....which we should know by now that swing voters are well informed on politics....like at all. They just know what Tiktok, Facebook, YouTube or whatever influencer or talking piece they hear the most. Republicans are more aware of this hence why they repeat their messaging even when it's a known lie.

They even let Republicans straight up lie. There's even that minority of left leaners who will happily regurgitate some of Republicans talking points like Kyle Kulinski or Breahna Joy if the Democrats "didnt do enough."

My point is, controlling those feelings or perspective of a narrative means you have to constantly message about it at nauseum. Over and over, day after day, week after week, month after month in near unison. Certainly doesnt mean the jobs done ofc, but you use the victory as a stepping stone to message and accomplish even more.

Thank God Democrats have gotten better in the past 4 years, but still have a ways to go on their messaging.

In places where talking to the police can get you killed definitely. Also a lot of petty crimes don't get reported due to people not wanting to deal with the paperwork and such. Bigger crimes like murder and stuff are down though. You can't really fake murder stats.

I never said it didn't. You're the one taking this as a swipe at Biden, I'm just saying there's a flaw in the reporting.

REPORTED crime is going down. ACTUAL crime is at an all time high under Biden.

Because of inflation, no one can afford their phone bills, so they don't call 911 anymore, they just live with the consequences.
