I remember in the 90’s when we added significantly to our police forces and the populations of our prisons skyrocketed. It seems there was a direct correlation to adding cops and getting the bad guys off the streets. Either you or one of your libtardo alter egos keeps telling us that it’s not the 80’s/90’s anymore so stop comparing that era to the “modern” times we live in. That being said violent crime is still high and if you live anywhere near an inner city you’re not safe. Especially after dark. 1

My goodness, man. Crime skyrocketed in the 70s and 80s. It peaked in the early 90's and collapsed after that. Read. A. Book.

Scouts Honor Posted June 7 Posted June 7 but you might be right about 90's...thats the policy i was referring ot broken windows policing

mspart Posted June 7 Posted June 7 The last few years it has been police funded less and less thugs going to prison. And look what we have. There is a reason there is unreported crime. Because when it is reported, nothing happens. The police can't react the way we expect because there are less of them than before. DA and city attorneys will not press charges. Nothing happens so why report? https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/04/24/what-the-data-says-about-crime-in-the-us/ Most violent and property crimes in the U.S. are not reported to police, and most of the crimes that are reported are not solved. In its annual survey, BJS asks crime victims whether they reported their crime to police. It found that in 2022, only 41.5% of violent crimes and 31.8% of household property crimes were reported to authorities. If true, then that means that you multiply reported crimes by 1.595 (that's 59.5 unreported violent crime) and that is closer to the real violent crime rate. Same with property crime. Multiply that rate by 1.682 and you have much closer rate of actual property crime. mspart

It must be convenient for you to pretend every fact that doesn't align with your twitter-built worldview must be fake. The sad part is that you do it because you're addicted to feeling scared. It's good news that crime is not nearly as bad as you think it is, but that's not what you want to hear. You want to hear the world is scary and everybody is trying to get you. Your whole politics is built around it. If you want to take your head out of the sand, the numbers for 2019-2022 (2023 numbers will be available in October) are: 2019 - 380.8 2020 - 398.8 2021 - 387 2022 - 380.7 2023 - projections are down from 380, but the FBI doesn't finish their final audit until late in the following year. I trust as a literate adult you can visualize where those points would be on the graph and see that they're still 3-400 lower than when you grew up. Again, this is good news if you'll let yourself hear it. https://cde.ucr.cjis.gov/LATEST/webapp/#/pages/explorer/crime/crime-trend Edited June 7 by uncle bernard
uncle bernard Posted June 7 Author Posted June 7 (edited) Which of these is more likely? A massive, 60 year long nationwide conspiracy to lie about the crime rate, continued by both parties including Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump, etc....? or Your perception of the world, which is based mostly on twitter? Have a nice weekend, folks. Edited June 7 by uncle bernard
Husker_Du Posted June 7 Posted June 7 i'm supposed to believe these numbers when the statistics on prosecution are down, reporting is clearly invalidated, violent crimes are everywhere are social media, and the mayors of every major city are freaking out? it's pretty 'convenient' for you - someone who preaches 'don't believe a word the government tells you about overseas operations' - that the government is being forthright with domestic information. especially after the abhorrent misinformation on a 'pandemic' TBD
Husker_Du Posted June 7 Posted June 7 for you window lickers that think inflation is normal and 'a worldwide problem' TBD

Bigbrog Posted June 8 Posted June 8 SMH...someone arguing how they are ok with crime rates being where they are...wow...just wow. How about this, is the number of violent crimes around zero? No...then I am not okay with the numbers and we should be investing in police, not divesting in our police.

mspart Posted June 11 Posted June 11 https://www.npr.org/2022/10/05/1127047811/the-fbis-new-crime-report-is-in-but-its-incomplete Los Angeles and New York City did not report to the FBI. In fact, only 63% of the country's police departments submitted anything, and some of the data that was submitted was incomplete. Weihua Li of The Marshall Project has been poring over the FBI's findings. And there you go. You could say crime was down 27% but that would be a mistake. mspart

There are some good cops but way too much corruption. It's gotten better but has a long ways to go. EVERY cop needs to be wearing a cam and microphone at all times while on duty. That won't stop their payoffs from drug Lords during off-duty hours but it will help a lot overall. Edited June 11 by red viking
