Beneath the surface of reported crime statistics lies a troubling reality: a decline in reported crimes masks a surge in unreported incidents, fueled by plummeting arrest rates and faltering law enforcement. As the narrative of decreasing crime faces scrutiny, revelations from the National Crime Victimization Survey unveil a stark contrast, painting a picture of escalating violence across the nation. Amidst this unsettling landscape, distrust in the legal system burgeons, driving millions to arm themselves for protection as law enforcement struggles to maintain order in America’s urban centers.
Key Points:
- Discrepancy between official crime reports and public perception of rising crime rates.
- Divergence between FBI’s crime data and Bureau of Justice Statistics’ National Crime Victimization Survey.
- Factors contributing to underreported crime include unreported incidents and declining arrest rates.
- Significant decrease in arrest rates for violent and property crimes, leading to decreased faith in law enforcement.
- Rise in nonreported violent crime incidents according to National Crime Victimization Survey.
- Widespread belief in worsening crime rates despite variations across income levels and demographics.
- Despite declining faith in legal protection, firearm permits and concealed carry laws see a surge.

Reported crime is going down, but real crime is going up.
In 2022, 31% of police departments nationwide, including Los Angeles and New York, didn’t report crime data to the FBI!

The Biden Regime excluded data from the most violent cities in America by changing the way crime is reported. The Soros Infiltrated Cities are not reporting their Crime Statistics because it’s ‘optional’. This includes New York, Chicago and LA. pic.twitter.com/pviR89CvFF
