Most people think the U.S. crime rate is rising. They'''re wrong.

Look at the real data, not the nightly news or the everybody needs 10 guns network. Look at the charts for violent and property crime since 1985 to 2022

And not shown in those charts is the 2023 data which through the 3rd quarter show an additional drop of 8% in violent crime over 2022 and 6.3% in property crime.

What is up however is hate crime. I wonder what that is about or how that has been stirred up.
It seems the crime rate was down across the US except in some major cities where it was up by quite a bit.

One of the major stations did a report on crime stats for the year 2023. I do think San Francisco was one where it was way up.

The data is rather incomplete though. The FBI released its annual national crime stats. The data is horribly incomplete | US news | The Guardian
