Homicides in U.S. set to drop by record numbers this year

[Oddball]

Why it matters: The findings appear to be at odds with Americans' perception of crime both in their communities and in the rest of the country.

• More than three-quarters (77%) of Americans believe crime has increased in the U.S. since last year, according to a Gallup survey of 1,009 adults released last month.
• A majority (55%) also said crime was rising in their local area.
• "Both figures are similar to what Gallup measured last year and rank among the most pessimistic readings in the respective trends," the company said.

I'll count you among the misinformed.

Leave it to a dullard hack like you, who needs to be told what the numbers mean.

If someone lives in the Ghetto, and they look outside their window and see hoe'ing and drug pushing going on at the corner and call 911- do you really think the police are going to bust the junkies, hoes and pimps?

Not in 2023 they won't.

From op's own source

• The nationwide drop also follows the roughly 30% increase in murders in 2020. That means that despite this year's drop, homicides remain slightly elevated compared to 2019.

You missed the point of the article and my post. Which is the reality of the crime rate doesn't not coincide with the public's perception. A point so obvious only a Trumpletard could miss it.

Sure, and here's your title:

Homicides in U.S. set to drop by record numbers this year​

But I missed the point, lol. The purpose of a title is to convey the point, which anyone that had passed high school english could tell you. YOU stated the point when you chose that title, you drooling moron.

JFC. If you pissants couldn't lie you'd have nothing to say.

That is the title of the article. An article that goes on to explain the data does not correlate with the public's perception. You can't be this stupid, can you?

Again, dolt, read your own title. Slowly, if you must.

The only one down is Theft from Auto and that is because folks have quit reporting them.

And police stopped responding to them.

The data is the data. I understand it is incongruous with your beliefs because you have been duped.

They saw "drops" after record high numbers? Do you even understand how incredibly disingenuous this OP is? They are still at record high numbers!!! Crime is fucking rampant. Carjackings, mass looting, assaults, EVERYTHING is up from where is was.

Well Biden just bringing it down from the Trump peak...

The excuse is, Biden has it easy because all he has to do is fix the Trump mess...

You understand you have to read beyond the title to get the gist of the post, right?

• Other forms of violent crime — rape, aggravated assault and robbery — are set to see a decline as well, according to preliminary quarterly data published by the FBI earlier this month.

What the hell did Trump have to do with crime? Was HE asking for sanctuary cities where illegals flooded in? Was he asking to defund the police? Was he asking to go lenient on criminals? Did ANY conservative in existence call for any of that, or was that a 100% democrat position?

 

[CowboyTed]

Crime IS rising. You are saying that because there was a drop in murders, that means that ALL crime is dropping. You are implying that because murders have dropped from their peak highs, that means that we no longer have a high murder rate.

You are a fucking liar. Aint no one buying any of your horseshit.

In fairness the GOP supporters finally saw the Trump increase in crime was happening but Biden will fix this mess too..

What happened at that increase in crime point in Trumps presidency. It shows a spike in 2020. What happened there? Did republicans go rampaging in the streets or something? Someone remind me what caused the spike in 2020.

people only know what goes on were they live because they live there, that perception is real........

 

[Moonglow]

The FBI data, which compares crime rates in the third quarter of 2023 to the same period last year, found that violent crime dropped 8%, while property crime fell 6.3% to what would be its lowest level since 1961, according to criminologist Jeff Asher, who analyzed the FBI numbers.Dec 16, 2023

Most people think the U.S. crime rate is rising. They're wrong.​

Still waiting on anything to back up the naysayers.....

If homicides are down, that's great!

Now if certain folks could please restrict those homicides to their own area, not in downtown & on public transportation, that would really be peachy keen.

We could then return to the peaceful and orderly 1950s.
