On June 10, the FBI released its quarterly report on crime statistics. Right on cue, folks on the left were quick to point out how the Biden administration has reduced crime in America. MSNBC’s Chris Hayes declared 'in every year of the Biden administration violent crime has come down.' CNN reported that the murder rate 'is plunging.' Attorney General Merrick Garland referred to the data as a 'historic decline in violent crime.
Here’s why. Let’s first admit that crime data is incomplete data, but it has never been more incomplete than over the last three years. Crime data is reported to the FBI voluntarily by each of the approximately 19,000 state and local law enforcement agencies nationwide. Those agencies can choose to report inaccurate data, partial data, or no data at all. In 2021, full participation in the FBI’s crime data collection system dropped to 60%.
Despite the millions in federal grant dollars those large PDs receive each year to collect and report their crime stats, the embarrassment of the crime occurring in those jurisdictions apparently wasn’t worth the effort. When our nation’s largest cities do not report accurate crime data, it is worse than meaningless to cite 'crime rates' . Statistical analysis is only as good as the data. This is why raw numbers become more significant.
