Trump said the crime report was fraud.
Here is some info you can use to search...
biden/Harris changed the rules and many blue cities/towns do not have to report crimes.
NIBRS... national incident based reporting systems
NYC, LA, Las Vegas, Baltimore, Boston just to name a few.
It used to be the case that pretty much the only number you could trust in crime states is murder rate. After all, its near 100% reporting, there's a body, its not subjective. Even that has become warped by politics as too many murders get plead down and reclassified under 'accidents' or excluding negligent homicides. To give a direct example, Minneapolis claimed to have its 2023 murder tally drop to 74, down from 83 in 2022. Still double the ~40 per year in the 2010s. But in reality, there were 86 murders in 2023 and 1 justifiable homicide (self defense). So how did 12 murders disappear from the crime stats? They redefined 'murder' to exclude negligent homicide, and there were 12 negligent homicides in 2023. But in all previous years, negligent homicides were included in the crime stats, and they still compare against those numbers, apples to oranges.
So to give a specific example
On march 11, 2023, Jacquelyn Vann of Minneapolis stabbed her boyfriend Pierre Glass to death during an argument. She didn't claim it was self-defense though she had some minor scratches from the struggle, rather she admitted to stabbing him after they had slapped each other and he pushed her. She was charged with one count of second degree murder, but plead guilty to second degree manslaughter and got 4 years in prison. That homicide was excluded from the murder count in 2023 even though if it had occurred a few months earlier, it would be included in the 2022 stats.
