Fact of the Day: Crime Is Still Falling in the United States

[Bootes Void]

The FBI has finally released crime figures for 2019, and both violent crime and property crime were down compared to 2018. Property crime is at its lowest level of the past several decades, while violent crime is at its second-lowest (only 2014 has been lower).

As for 2020, we won’t know anything reliable until this time next year. There have been several estimates based on sampling of cities, but I’d take them all with a grain of salt. For now, this is the best we have.

Good.

But it is still awfully high in places like Mississippi, Detroit, Baltimore, Kentucky, etc.

People need jobs and learn personal responsibility.

Also the 1994 crime bill was mixed.

People should move on from it.

People see crime as an urban problem.

Until urban communities have a plan to fix these issues, you are going to see an eyeroll from the rest of the country.

There is a reason why the Republican Party is still competitive and still a thing, in places like Carmel, Indiana, etc.

Law and order is not catching on, that is why Trump is not leading.

We'll see.
