Homicides went up in 2020 and 2021 and are now rapidly coming back down. Violent crime nationwide hasn't increased. But the perception of a crime wave still colors U.S. politics.
Yeah. We aren’t reporting any crime. Like when the cops are told to round up the homeless because it’s cutting into the city’s corrupt recycling program, so they arrest them for nothing just to get them off the street.
We are talking murders. People don’t not report them. And if someone goes missing, we don’t typically just let it go either.
Theft and assault? Those are going to be all over the map. But murders tend to be really accurate and sort of impervious to the “dark figure of crime.”
The missing part…yes they do. They absolutely do. There are a fuck ton of missing people who are most likely dead. The solve rate on missing persons is pretty damn low.
According to the NamUs database, there are 600,000 people declared missing every year. Alongside that statistic, there are 4,400 unidentified bodies discovered every year. That means only 0.7333% of people who go missing are found and unable to be identified.
Stats show that the US has about a 6% murder rate per 100k. That’s about 250k murders per year, give or take.
And you’re talking about 4K bodies or 6k unsolved murders? Bro.
Over 95% of murders are reported to the police in the USA. So yeah, not sure what you’re trying to show with those numbers, but like I said originally, murders in 1st world nations aren’t prone to even near the same level misinterpretation as say theft or even sexual assault (as most go unreported).
Not even sure what compelled you to argue this.
PS: just from a logical argument point of view, what good is a numerator without a denominator?
A ton of crime does go unreported in general, so yeah. Numbers for crimes that are less severe than murder are probably way off.
Murder numbers would be fairly accurate, I would imagine. If those numbers are significantly off, there are some serious issues with reporting.
