Tiberius Posted December 21, 2023 Posted December 21, 2023 https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/12/21/crime-decrease/ Crime, which spiked during the coronavirus pandemic, has dropped — fast. The results represent evidence that despite perceptions that crime is “soaring,” the end of the pandemic has seen violent crime plunge. Additional money for police departments supplied through the American Rescue Plan Act might have helped. (The administration has asked for $35 billion more for the Safer America Plan to address crime-fighting and the root causes of crime.) In late October, the FBI reported, “The FBI’s crime statistics estimates for 2022 show that national violent crime decreased an estimated 1.7% in 2022 compared to 2021 estimates.” As NPR pointed out, though property crime increased from 2021, data showed that “the homicide rate fell significantly last year, by slightly more than 6% compared with 2021.” Overall, violent crime, including rape and aggravated assault, also dropped from 2021. However, we now have strong evidence the trend has continued in 2023. The FBI’s crime tracker for the first three quarters of 2023, compared with the same period in 2022, shows violent crime down 8 percent and property crime down 6 percent, NBC News reported, using analysis from criminologist Jeff Asher. Rape was down nearly 15 percent, and robbery dropped roughly 9 percent. The only exception to the positive trend was car thefts, which were up about 10 percent. To put the numbers in perspective, even a 4 percent drop in violent crime “would lead to the lowest violent crime rate nationally since 1969.” (If the rate of decline in property crime holds up, that rate would be the lowest since 1961.) At the very least, we know violent and property crime dropped, with the final data available next year. Why the big drop? The answer might rest with why it spiked. We know what didn’t cause the spike. The Brennan Center found, “Despite politicized claims that this rise was the result of criminal justice reform in liberal-leaning jurisdictions, murders rose roughly equally in cities run by Republicans and cities run by Democrats.” So local policing policies likely played no role. Part of the explanation might have been glitches in reporting, but in truth, “attempting to isolate a single factor to explain crime trends, especially during a once-in-a-century global pandemic, would be a mistake.” 1
Tommy Callahan Posted December 21, 2023 Posted December 21, 2023 NPR is trying so hard to make an outright lie and conspiracy seems plausible with pathetic deflections.

LeviF Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Can’t help but self-own even in your own thread, huh? Quote Moran pleaded guilty to the charges last week, and smiled and smirked at the victim and his family prior to entering his guilty pleas. Knew it as soon as I saw his face.

Doc Posted February 19 Posted February 19 Ugh. My son is going to law school in August and still waiting to hear back from schools. He's going to attend the highest-ranked one he gets in, which right now is University of Minnesota (16th in the nation) in...Minneapolis. 1

Sprawling campus, would think it’s fine there, but, it is arctic there in the winter. That said, best wishes to your son, world needs more lawyers. (my kid is one) 1

Sprawling campus, would think it’s fine there, but, it is arctic there in the winter. That said, best wishes to your son, world needs more good lawyers. (my kid is one) FIFY and thanks. If that's where he ends up going, we probably won't visit in the artic times. And we're holding out hope he gets in somewhere higher-ranked and closer to home. 1

How much would you like to bet against him having raped a boy, rather than a girl? I’ll give you odds since the percentages are so skewed - or are statistics homophobic as well as racist? Oh, and notice how it’s always guys on the right who want the ability to execute pedophiles and it’s always “people” on the left that want no criminals punished at all? Weird, I wonder how many posts of yours I could find screeching about the “fascist” governors who want to expand the death penalty. Edited February 24 by LeviF
