The Dems insist there's no increase in crime - it's not a problem. They insist that the official data shows an actual DOWNTURN in violent crime in the last year.
I cannot find definitive data for this either way. For one thing, I read a study that claims since the FBI changed the way it classifiies crimes - and the downturn in police departments - they're finding that some precincts aren't reporting ANYTHING - they're too short staffed to worry about uploading data and that as many as half haven't reported a damned thing.
I do know that some parts of major cities - are boarded up. That actual murders - homicides - are up.
Dems are saying, nope, just scaremongering - data says it ain't worse.
Who's right?
