President Biden and Democrats claim crime is down based on an FBI report, but fail to mention that thousands of police precincts are not reporting crime data to the FBI. The Marshall Project noted that in 2021, many agencies did not report data, leading to a significant gap in national crime statistics.
Key Points
Biden and Democrats highlight a decrease in crime rates without mentioning the reporting issues.
The FBI's new data reporting system led to gaps in crime data from many agencies in 2021 and 2022.
Over 6,000 law enforcement agencies were missing from the FBI's national crime data in 2022.
Pros
Crime rates have reportedly decreased nationally.
Cons
Thousands of police precincts are not reporting crime data to the FBI, leading to gaps in national crime statistics.
