"The FBI released its 2021 national crime data estimates this week, and, as expected, the takeaway is far from conclusive. In short: The nation’s most thorough crime data collection program concluded it’s possible crime went up, went down or stayed the same.
That’s partly because the year-on-year changes to the numbers were small. The FBI estimates that murders rose by about 4% compared to 2020, while overall violent crime decreased by about 1%. Officials cautioned that neither change is statistically significant, and concluded that crime rates were roughly flat."

[@warshield924]

All of this is true Anna but here i the thing IT'S ALWAYS TRUE YOU.... There is always reported and unreported crime, so if you want to say "oh crime is so much higher you have to add this to the numbers" then you have to do the same thing to old number. No matter how you slice it crime is down. It may be higher than reported but that has always been true.

[@bradadult2075]

If you have seen the show the wire than you know how easy statistics can be manipulated. In the show a police chef in Chicago legalizing all drug sales and use in certain areas of the city, now that selling drugs is legal in this area the numbers of people arrested for dealing is much lower. It’s called juking the stats.

Surveys of crimes also can be inaccurate, especially as it relys on memory. An example would be to count two separate incidents as the same crime or vis versa, two or more people describe the same crime differently and one incident could be counted multiple times. It heavily relys on hearsay and not just eyewitnesses. I learnt this in sociology more 30 years ago. There are inaccuracies in all collections of crime data, the police or FBI can only rely on reported crime, surveys tend to inflate crime.

Being against crime is far right 😊

[@mariechampagne932]

Excellent video and actually despite being far right is against crime, it has ironically done a better job at creating crime through a fall short system to carry eachother. Despite the far left more invvested in mental health, it falls short but without ANY support, that's even worse. People are so easy to forget that most of human history was governed by right wing, and cavemen were the most far right wing as a collective as it gets. Do you think they had mental health supports back then? Do you think crime didn't exist back then? It was actually worse and less reported, there were strict rules for women in our humanities fox news far right wing mass psychosis history that Fox news keeps trying to erase from the history books in schools and creating perfect optics radicalize the green party, just as the illegal settlements in Palestine is creating optics to radicalize Palestinians

[@mariechampagne932]

I also need to present here that there are 2 types of far left governance with quite different approaches and often get confused between each other especially by the right. Number 1 is an old style liberal approach which is like Amsterdam and is far far closer to anarchy than a far left progressive governance which stands by many laws like today but more of a communist approach whereas the majority are relatively equally paid from CEO all the way down with of course, large efforts in workload balancing. The right wing simpletons often degrade the word communism with lack of understanding it, lack of context expresssed in the reality that there have been quite a few forms types of communism already proposed and this form of far left wing progressive politics actually shares some dictatorial values of far right wing politics which centers around the word control, or opposite of liberty. This behavior is actually important in some areas such as the planet does not care what our preferences in transportation are, 47 years left of oil draining faster, Biden is doing the right thing in highly regulating car culture in the future, and that is actually a combination of a right wing dictatorial idea in order to help sooner achieve a more sustainable transportation future compared to this fox news magic moment song by the drifters reality.

[@Formaldehydex]

Unless the percentage of unreported crime changes drastically over time, it still means the relative changes in reported crime is still fairly accurate. The actual numbers are just higher than reported. The FBI statistics also have a different problem. They rely on local police agencies to report them. But, again, unless the ones that don’t report the crimes accurately change their methods drastically, the relative percentages don’t change. So the true “suckers” are the ones who decided not to pay attention in math classes.

[@2hr369]

that was my thought, unless we have reason to believe or have evidence that there has been a huge uptick in unreported crimes, this is still indicative of a trend down.

While that number dropped to 4000 in 2023, that's still 6000, then 4000 jurisdictions that, presumably, HAVE been reporting prior to 2022. So none of their crime rates got counted.

And the global warming point is somewhat of an analogy, since holding that cities enjoy an important status in thinking about crime is similar to insisting that colder weather in a certain region-North America, say-enjoys some favored status in discussing climate change. While I think there is more to be said for Ana’s particular point about centering what is going on in large metro areas, I’m not even sure that her contention is even right. Surely she can’t move from crime data is incomplete and distorted to, look at perceptions of crime, it is a huge problem. That’s just “gap” reasoning right there. But she just has an axe to grind against crime. No doubt, one should be against crime but her constant need to address the issue-even down to particular stories-seems to me to be a personal crusade absent more evidence to suggest that crime is a major problem compared to, say, 2016.

[@imnotmike]

The problem I have with this is that if you're just relying on a survey, there's been no verification that there's actually been a crime. There's the whole innocent until proven guilty thing. And of course, since we're not talking about punishing anyone that doesn't matter as much. But people still do lie about crimes - especially when there are no consequences for lying about the crimes. People like to make themselves out to be victims, and will often exaggerate events and even straight fabricate events in order to make themselves out to be the victim, because as a victim they feel like all of their faults can be blamed on whoever victimized them. This becomes a very big problem when you start talking about rape and sexual assault. Because you have these reports that come out that claim that something like 80% of all women are raped, and 90% of all rapists get off with no punishment. Those make for super alarming headlines. But the fact of the matter is, they're counting everyone who is innocent as a rapist in that statistic, and that's a very problematic omission from the story. It is possible that the vast majority of the people they're calling rapists are completely innocent, and are just guys who have a girlfriend who got mad at them, and decided after the fact that she wasn't happy with the relationship, therefore it was retroactively rape in her mind. There's absolutely no verification of any of this, and even if she's straight up lying about what happened and everybody found out she was lying, she still wouldn't face any consequences, since she's not making these claims to law enforcement, so she can say whatever she wants. There's no disincentive at all for her to not just say whatever makes her feel vindicated. And then these fear mongering organizations release these reports with these shocking headlines that make it sound like everybody in America has been raped, when the truth is really just that everybody in America has been mad at their boyfriend at some point or another, and in their mind, when anonymously reporting to an unofficial organization with no power and no consequences, that's basically enough that we can just call it rape. It's reasonable to call out the reasons why the FBI crime statistics might be underreporting crime. It's even reasonable to mention these kinds of self reporting surveys. But you also have to mention that these surveys are also flawed, and could very well be much less accurate than the FBI crime statistics, and there's just no way to know how accurate they are.

So any statistics you read about that is not based on real data, its simply estimated out of a tiny selection. Every single one of the over 18 000 different precincts operate entirely on their own. Sure, there is a system for reporting in statistics to the FBI, but very few precincts do this. Nobody wants to come out looking bad. And its entirely voluntary and no pressure to do so. -So why would they. So we dont know what police are up to, or how crime statistics are really doing. Up or down. Who knows. Its not secret, its not hidden information, its just... Not data that really gets collected or analysed by anyone.

Exactly. Agencies all across the country, for years, didn't have mandatory reporting on numerous crime classifications. Grape being one of them. In essense, between under reporting by victims and witnesses, and agencies not reporting to the DOJ and the agencies she mentioned, the numbers have ALWAYS looked artificially low. Her reporting doesn't prove there has been an actual increase in crime overall OR in specific categories. Ana, how can you compare to an unknown, unreported data set? Jesus. She's a total dum dum when on "reporting" on this. Why? Because she NEEDS to fear monger about crime going up/being out of control and it being a conspiracy of sorts because she hasn't dealt with her own personal trauma. Ana is a reactionary by nature, everyday inching closer and closer towards conservatism and thus further and further away from rationality and critical thinking. She repeatedly works backwards to her conclusion.

Poverty is only one part of the problem, not the entire problem. Moral decay, bad parenting, and absent fathers play a huge role in becoming a criminal, not just poverty. There is an undeniable rise in crime perpetrated by people who should already be in jail or should never have been released. The problem is far-lfft prosecutors don't want to charge criminals so they allow repetitive offenders loose on the street. My state is full of DA's who refuse to do their job because "muh racism". Why are criminals allowed to roam around free to constantly assault people? Why are they allowed to break the law without any consequences? Police is catching them but what's the point if they're always being released? Some individuals simply cannot be rehabilitated.

[@thedebatemechannel4746]

This video is so easy to debunk. First of all what she's doing is equivalent of pointing out something that Hitler said that he might have been correct about. There's absolutely no reason to reference anything that Hitler got that was correct. And no I'm not comparing Trump to Hitler. Then the core part of her argument is ridiculous. She makes an argument that a lot of crimes are not reported which is old news it's been like this for a very long time then she uses this to suggest that the crime dropping is actually not valid however it doesn't matter that most crimes are not reported. If many crimes are not reported before and many crimes are not reported now and we see crime going down then that means crime is actually going down. The only reason it would not mean crime is going down is if the percentage of unreported crimes has increased but she made no suggestion that there's any evidence at all that the percentages of unreported crimes has increased so therefore any change in crimes whether going up or down would be actually true The only thing she's talking about is that the actual number of crimes is not accurate but that's a separate concept from whether crimes have increased or went down. Imagine if my car speedometer is 20 mph too slow. So it's not giving my accurate speed. When I'm going 40 mph it says 20. Now when I accelerate the speedometer is going to accurately show my acceleration when I decelerate it's also going to accurately sorted as well The only thing that it's not going to show is what my actual speed is but it will accurately represent changes in my speed unless the amount that it is off by fluctuates.

[@ergonaga4949]

I think your point might be valid for the violent crimes alone but not with property crime, its almost certain that property crime reporting has decreased, because its well known that liberal run cities have borderline legalized low level property crime and low level theft and on top of that the perpetrators are released almost immediately because of new anti cash bail laws for things like low level property crime and shoplifting. So why bother reporting it? It's literally just a waste of time for the victim to report it under some of these new laws where you have to be stealing thousands of dollars worth of stuff to face any real consequences.

[@williammatthews5422]

She actually explains why the FBI statistics showing crime is going down are inaccurate. It has nothing to do with crimes unreported by individuals. You weren't paying attention. Watch the video again.

One problem happening in California and New York is the dollar minimum to report theft. So theft in California and New York is up, but because much of it is under $1,000 it doesn't get reported. Schools keep the crime in-house. The only way it doesn't if somebody dies or gets sent to the hospital. Statuary rape is often consensual rape with cause. Sex after a romantic dinner involving alcohol is an example of this. That's because the female is most likely legally drunk according to the law and having sex with somebody that is legally drunk is illegal. There are other consensual illegal activities such as drug use, illegal modifications of a vehicle, firearm or building; prostitution; gang on gang violence; etc.
