40% of law enforcement agencies nationwide did not submit 2021 crime data. While a number of states, including Connecticut, Delaware, and Vermont, had near universal compliance, many others did not. 24/7 Wall St. reviewed 2021 NIBRS participation data to identify the states that do not report crime to the FBI. In each of the 21 states on this list, at least a third of law enforcement agencies did not submit crime data to the FBI in 2021.

There is a similar phenomenon when you look at the actual statistics of death versus media coverage of deaths. For example, Homicide makes up 0.9% of all causes of death and terrorism is basically almost 0%, yet the news coverage on homicide is 22% (compared to coverage on other causes) and coverage on terrorism is in the 30% (in 2017 at least). Meanwhile, heart disease makes up about 2-3% of the coverage while 30% of deaths are actually due to heart disease. The news only reports on sensational causes such as homicide, cancer, self-harm, terrorism - but never about slow systemic killers like respiratory disease, Alzheimers, pneumonia, kidney disease, etc.. They’ll also only mention drug overdoses to say it’s a problem, not who it’s happening to and why and how to solve it. Same goes with crime - they’ll report on the sensational homicides happening in populated areas, or talk about the poverty on the streets, but never about the actual systemic causes of the suffering that leads to crime, or the crime that happens on a daily basis to disadvantaged communities (unless they wanna demonize them).

I think a big factor in why Americans feel as though crime has been increasing is because of our media. When we turn on the tv, whether it’s the local news, or national news channels like CNN, Fox, CBS, MSNBC, etc. you’re more than likely gonna run into at least one story talking about someone getting killed, or robbed, or assaulted, or something else along those lines; and it’s because those stories interest people more than something along the lines of, “This zoo welcomed a new animal.” “Our city has just elected a new comptroller.” “The public library has bought a thousand new books.” I’m no different, in my city a security guard at my old high school was shot while breaking up a fight, and one of the first things I did when I heard that news was turn on the TV to hear my mayors press conference on the shooting. News channels jobs are to tell the people what is happening around them, but it’s also to get views, and talking about crime is one major way to get more people listening to you, and in turn get more money. But it also leads to a somewhat warped perception of reality, because when these for profit companies constantly talk about crime in order to get people to listen to them, it in turn leads people to believe that crime is everywhere, even if that isn’t true.

The big issue with poverty-as-crime is it looks to solutions for crime instead of solutions to poverty, and this in turn helps make the poverty worse. American homelessness in cities is very much related to increasing costs of rent, which is about city policy and housing. Drug use is largely the opioid epidemic which was a pharmaceutical malpractice and can be aided with recovery programs. Addiction combines with homelessness to become _visible_ addiction. Solutions to crime is the police. The police can only shove people around or throw them in jail for some time. But they don't go away so the problem doesn't really go away. I don't know how to solve that so long as people conflate police/addiction and actual crime. Whenever a city tries to push for better and proper policy there is an uproar because if you only see the problems are criminal then shifting attention away from policing looks like a tolerance of crime.

I think that perception is also affected by how well an individual experiences crime. What I mean is that in the 90s when you saw a news story about a violent crime you would potentially see police tape or at most someone in a hospital. Now, thanks to everyone having really good cameras in their pockets and surveillance cameras being so cheap, you don't see the scene of the crime but you get to watch the crime itself. You see the gun fight or you see the person being beat with a hammer. It really changes your perception of how safe you feel. Before it was just a statistic, but with the video you see it in all of its brutality. The brutality hasn't changed but how you experience it definitely has. Edit: Also wanted to add that just because the rate is decreasing doesn't mean it still isn't too high. Our homicide rate is much higher than most developed nations with our homicide rate of 6.4/100k being much closer to Russia's 6.8 and El Salvador's 7.8 than Canada's 2.3 or Norway's 0.6. It is better but we still have a long ways to go.

This is a great point. I’m too young to remember the 90s, but I do remember the time before we were able to watch high quality crime footage on our devices 24/7. Watching the actual crime is more immersive than something like an interview with the victim. Even if it’s an unlikely event, watching it happen to a random person makes it feel like that could be you or a loved one.

I remember the 90's and there were loads of shows like Cops and World's Wildest Police Videos that used video footage of crimes as entertainment, and lots of sensationalised crime reporting. There's more video footage out there than ever, but there's always been a huge appetite for it and mass-consumption of crime footage is not a new phenomenon at all. Newspapers in the 1930's used to regularly print graphic crime scene photos that would be heavily censored in today's press. There was widespread scare mongering about crime back in the 90's as well, leading to drastic increases in incarceration during the period and the proliferation of harsh anti-crime measures such as three strikes laws and mandatory minimum sentences. Unfortunately the disconnect between the public perception of crime and the reality has been around a long time.

Nice comment, chaos; can I pile on? Why indeed did crime drop so much during the 90s? One, many more cameras near downtown streets and at businesses were installed in the late 80s and early 90s, and two, DNA evidence became admissible in our courtrooms in 1987. News that your DNA could now lead to your conviction gradually spread after 1987; this prompted a lot fewer false accusations--which is a crime--as well as cut back on other crimes. Anybody else? What else caused this, for instance, halving of our unaliving rate (since 1990)? (Note: America is halfway up that list, unalivings per 100,000 per year. There are about 210 countries who keep stats on unalivings, and we're about 105.)

So I live in Philadelphia, and I've lived here for 3 years. Part of the issue with these surveys is that people will tend to remember a spike in crime for much longer than a period of relative safety, and they may believe that a crime spike is still ongoing much longer than it actually is. Around the pandemic, there was a fair bit of looting downtown--not uncommon to see a store with boarded windows after a break-in. After the pandemic, the "Kia Boys" challenge saw a spike in vehicle theft. Once Kia/Hyundai recalled the affected vehicles, there was a new issue with roaming gangs of teenagers entering stores en masse and shoplifting stuff, using their numbers to get away with it. All of those problems have subsided for the most part, but things like that stick in people's minds. People may delude themselves into thinking looters are still breaking into pandemic-shuttered stores in 2024, or car thieves are still targeting Kias and Hyundais despite them receiving a security update a year ago. Bad experiences tend to make a bigger impression on our minds than good ones.

the people within the "tough on crime" crowd who I know tell me their entire set of evidence for this illusive "out of control crime" is "I think there are more security guards in stores" and "that one incident I saw on the news the other day which happened 20 miles away." We live in the exact same neighborhood, have largely the same exact local experiences, yet somehow reach completely different conclusions. The differentiating factor is media consumption. I'm just not plugged into media constantly reporting on every little bad thing which happens in a 100 mile radius to turn a profit, or worse, media which very explicitly tries to sell a narrative of rampant crime.

There are three kinds of people: 1. Those who see crime happening on the streets. 2. Those who see crime happening on the news. 3. Those who see crime happening in the numbers. Group 2 are operating with zero, or effectively zero information. They're not multiplying the murder rate per whatever by life expectancy and calculating the expected QALY cost due to the chance of being murdered due to lifestyle change XYZ. They're not looking at what's happening in the world and reacting accordingly either. They're looking at the news and the news always says one thing "there was a murder somewhere in the country today." If murder got 30 times better or worse it would do the same thing. They are completely insensitive to *actual* changes in crime rate, only to what an opinion-based partisan media ecosystem SAYS the crime rate is doing. This is the vast majority of Americans who take neither a data driven nor direct experience approach but rather one that is based on anecdote and feelings rather than anything else.

Economist Steven Levitt proved that about 30-50% of the drop was caused by increased abortion access. The data was reanalyzed recently (about 20 years after the initial paper) and it held up extremely well. Other major causes are removal of leaded gasoline ~20 years prior, and an aging population bulge (crime is very, very, very tightly correlated with age), plus more police.

I’m not from Chicago but I completely understand. I was born and raised in St. Louis. St. Louis has high crime rates but our rates wouldn’t be as high if they simply included the greater St. Louis metro area when reporting the crime rates. There are so many people who say they’re from St. Louis but really they’re from a county of St. Louis. You can’t have it both ways. Either it’s all St. Louis or it’s all separate. A lot of the counties are too small to support themselves so they don’t have their own paid police or fire departments but they still want to be counted as separate while receiving aid from the city. And even within the city limits, I see stuff like this happen all the time. North St. Louis has high poverty and high crime rates. But let a violent crime happen 2 or 4 miles away in a different part of the city and the news will still report it as North St. Louis crime even while telling you what street it happened on. It’s ridiculous.

More rigorous statistical analysis is needed. One example: use regression coefficients to quantify the relationship between mentions of crime in the news and the percentage of Americans who say crime is high. For instance, this could be done with time series analysis. One time series could be the percentage who say crime is high and the other time series could be the number of mentions of, say, homicide in national news broadcasts. Then, use a fast Fourier transform to get just the frequency domain of each time series. Now, find a regression fit between these two time series. The coefficient can tell you a lot about why people say crime is high. If, say, the coefficient is relatively constant. This means that people are always afraid. That is, their concerns fluctuate between various causes and motivations. If it’s highly variable, then more data analysis can be done to see what people are actually afraid of.

The challenge is that people react most to visceral anecdotes, and in any place with a population in the millions, whether crime goes up or down, there will be enough crime every day to fill a segment on the news. So the only way to know is from dry statistics like the FBI data, which are easier to dismiss if people are already predisposed to believing the opposite.

Something major of note that’s missing from this discussion is the fact that many, many police depts aren’t even reporting their crime stats anymore. And another thing to note- people just straight up are starting to not call the police when a crime is committed because of the massive distrust towards police and many police depts becoming incompetent at responding to crimes. I know from personal experience, since I used to live in a high crime area. When things happened to us (a guy pulling out a gun on us, someone trying to break into our car, someone across the street being beat to death), we used to call the police. They’d take 30-45 minutes to show up, and even when they did get there, there was a few occasions in which they threatened to ticket us for something random. When someone pulled a gun on my fiancée in the backyard, the police straight up said there was nothing they could do after taking 30 minutes to arrive and threatened to ticket us for our grass being too long. This was not a one time thing. We for the most part just stopped trying to call. Don’t let people gaslight you into thinking crime isn’t getting worse; it is. And it will continue to get worse as poverty keeps growing, life keeps getting more unaffordable, and capitalism keeps eating away at the American people here

Americans are wrong about crime increasing, but the levels we're at now are still pretty appalling when compared to other developed/affluent nations. My city's top 20 globally in crime index, but if you ask the folks who live here, they'll tell you that it's not so bad. And in one sense they're right; people still work, and love, and life goes on. But in another sense, they're just accustomed to living in one of the most violent cities in the world. And there's a lot of US cities like that. Americans might be wrong about the details, but they're right in thinking that we could do better.

I think most the issue comes from the fact that a lot of the platforms that exist are almost promising a "return" to lower crime rates; rather than actually doing something to decrease the crime rates we've always had.

News that your DNA could now lead to your conviction gradually spread after 1987; this prompted a lot fewer false accusations as well as cut back on crime. Again, please add to my list.

For every 100,000 Americans, 363 are in prison. For every 100,000 El Salvadorans, 1,086 are in prison. When more than 1% of your population is in prison, I think that's a bigger problem than a slightly higher violent crime rate.

Despite sentencing guidelines which are harsher, and incarceration rates which have been higher, the murder and non-negligent manslaughter rate in Louisiana has been higher than that in any other state over the last 34 straight years according to the FBI Uniform Crime Report. That's true because Louisiana has been tough on crime, but not so tough on murder over that span.

Except crimes as you said go unreported, you looked at homicides but I am more worried about being robbed or Sa, theft, other property crimes. then being murdered. Police does not even show up anymore in some cases so where do those numbers go. Manditory crime reporting and online report filing should help with that. Also really better help that is not a great look to have them as a sponsor.

Policing is different now. There's almost no point to turn up to a robbery after it happened. What do you think they should do? Dust for fingerprints? Nowadays, police is just about gathering data and finding underlying trends to see what is behind thefts. Having police make a show of turning up after a robbery does nothing to reduce theft. And nowadays, if the problem is systemic (rising rents, cost of living, etc), what can the police do about it?

I work in a downtown office that is part of a larger business district. With so many companies and government offices switching to remote or hybrid work, this has generated a lot of vacant leases and a significant drop in daily pedestrians and patrons to local businesses. Not only has this increased visibility of our homeless crisis and abundant drug use that was already there prior to pandemic lockdowns, it has led to an increase in car collisions and cycling accidents because people feel more confident driving at higher speeds when there are fewer people, but still high volumes of vehicular traffic. It's not an increase in crime, it's this void being filled, often by people who see this space as transitory, a place to pass through but not stay in, not interacting with the neighborhood blocks outside the confines of their car. Our city has been trying to devise ways of attracting new people to come to the downtown core, offering more hospitality and personal care services, building new apartment complexes close to major transit hubs, and investing in public goods like a new mid-sized music venue, and a brand new public library and digital archive. We're still a few years away from seeing what that will do for the improvement of our downtown sector, while still needing to address the social and moral failings of substandard care for our most vulnerable - the elderly, the unhoused, the disabled, and the very young. Offering them more opportunities to be seen as integral parts of our city's fabric while ensuring they have reliable access to the services and goods they need will hopefully revitalize my home city.

Public misconception is nothing new. A few months before the 2016 election, I met 2 men at Walmart. One was born in the same month as I during WW2 and the other was younger than our grandchildren. They both believed crime, taxes and immigration were at each an all-time highs. Actually, crime was at a 50 year low, taxes were less than 50% of what it was when the older gentleman and I were in elementary school, and immigration was net negative.

I still am flabbergasted that anyone thinks getting a pay raise that would put your salary just slightly about the (progressive) next tax bracket means you would take home less money. Everyone should have to fill out a 1040 as part of their annual high school history/civics class.
