FBI Revises 2022 Crime Data to Show 4.5% Rise, Not 2.1% Drop, Weeks Before Election
Oct 16, 2024, 01:48 PM
The FBI has quietly revised its 2022 violent crime statistics, now reporting an increase of 4.5% in violent crime instead of the previously reported 2.1% decrease. Released just weeks before the election, the updated data includes 80,029 more violent crimes than in 2021, comprising 1,699 additional murders, 7,780 rapes, 33,459 robberies, and 37,091 aggravated assaults. The revision has raised concerns about the accuracy of crime reporting and its implications for public safety and policy discussions, especially since previous data was used to fact-check statements during recent debates.
