Crime is out of control. What are we going to do about this?

Lots of teens committing crimes. I blame the parents (or lack thereof).

New FBI statistics show overall violent crime in the U.S. dropped again last year, continuing a downward trend after a pandemic-era spike.

Murders dropped 13 percent in the last three months of 2023 compared with the same period the year before, according to FBI data released this week. Violent crime overall was down 6 percent.

Property crime also ticked downward about 3 percent in the nation as a whole, though in the Northeast and in large cities over a million people it increased by about the same amount.

The FBI's report was in line with the findings of the nonpartisan Council on Criminal Justice, which found that homicides were down an average of 10 percent in a survey of 32 cities over the year before, though it found violent crime still remained higher than before the coronavirus pandemic in many cities.

Homicides showed a steep 29 percent increase in 2020, the largest one-year jump since the FBI began keeping records. The rise defied easy explanation, though experts said possible contributors included the massive disruption of the pandemic, gun violence, worries about the economy and intense stress.

Crime appeared to stay steady the following year. FBI data showed violent crime across the U.S. decreased in 2022, nearing pre-pandemic levels, though property crimes rose that year.

I didn’t necessarily want this to be a Seattle-area specific thread - but yes. I will find it and share.

Juvenile crime specifically is through the roof.

I thought it was all illegals that were doing all the crimes. Is that not the case?

Post subject:  Re: Crime

all I'm saying is that national stats don't matter much if your local fabric is looking different.

Our town of 50K had TWO cartel-related stabbings within the span of a week recently; the cartels have set up shop in Indian country because there's easy money to be made there.

I don't doubt McP's national crime stats, nor do I doubt that Sinclaire Media's and their ilk focus heavily on crime to drive ad revenue; but also, in nearly 10 years here, I never once heard about cartel-related violence until about six months ago. It's upsetting regardless of national stats.

Parked our car at a public garage outside of the market in Seattle. Walked down the stairwell and had to cross over a bloody tampoon and a big pile of human shit.

That was awful.

also, there is a lot of teenage violent/crime in the Twin Cities, though those stats have come down over the past couple of years as well. This will be a change for me from living in Tinseltown.

However, the statistics are based on figures collected from only 79% of law enforcement agencies in the US. Experts have previously warned that data can be “patchy” given inconsistency in reporting by the local agencies who supply the numbers. And the new stats are unaudited as the FBI is not scheduled to release its official figures and analysis concerning crime in 2023 until this upcoming October.

It's weird. There are lots of shall we say "changes" to what is a crime, what gets reported, what gets prosecuted, what the charges are, etc. Plenty of examples of undercharging and overcharging that will impact the stats.
