The wall street journal and John Lott Jr.: Only 28 years behind Stix!: Crime rates aren't falling in real world usa

Thursday, April 25, 2024 at 06:05:33 p.m. edt

Opinion | The Media Say Crime Is Going Down. Don't Believe It

I read the wsj at our local branch of the County Public Library. Perhaps someone here can access the complete article. Our friend Nicholas Stix has been making this point for years, namely, that reporting crimes is down, not the actual rates.

Opinion | The Media Say Crime Is Going Down. Don't Believe It John R. Lott Jr. The decline in reported crimes is a function of less reporting, not less crime.

I am not subscribed to the WSJ, but this has been a known problem. Of note, NYC and LA no longer participate in the FBI crime statistics.

Here is a link.

 

Many Large U.S. Police Agencies Are Missing from FBI Crime Data

 

Many Large U.S. Police Agencies Are Missing from FBI Crime Data Here are four reasons to worry about the missing national crime data.

The Media Say Crime Is Going Down. Don't Believe It; The decline in reported crimes is a function of less reporting, not less crime.
Lott, John R, Jr.  Wall Street Journal (Online); New York, N.Y.. 24 Apr 2024.

Americans think crime is on the rise, but the media keep telling them they're wrong. A Gallup survey last year found that 92% of Republicans and 58% of Democrats thought crime was increasing. A February Rasmussen Reports survey found that 61% of likely voters say violent crime in the U.S. is getting worse, while only 13% think it's getting better. Journalists purport to refute this by citing official crime statistics showing a downward trend.

Americans aren't mistaken. News reports fail to take into account that many victims aren't reporting crimes to the police, especially since the pandemic.

The U.S. has two measures of crime. The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Reporting program counts the number of crimes reported to police every year. The Bureau of Justice Statistics, in its National Crime Victimization Survey , asks some 240,000 people a year whether they have been victims of a crime. The two measures have diverged since 2020: The FBI has been reporting less crime, while more people say they have been victims.

The divergence is due to several reasons. In 2022, 31% of police departments nationwide , including Los Angeles and New York, didn't report crime data to the FBI. In addition, in cities from Baltimore to Nashville, Tenn., the FBI is undercounting crimes those jurisdictions reported.

Another reason crimes reported to the police are falling is that arrest rates are plummeting. If victims don't believe criminals will be caught and punished, they won't bother reporting them . According to the FBI, if you take the five years preceding Covid-19 (2015-19) and compare them with 2022, the percentage of violent crimes in all cities resulting in an arrest fell from 44% to 35% . Among cities with more than one million people (where violent crime disproportionately occurs), arrest rates over the same period plunged from 44% to 20%.

Arrests for property crimes dived even more sharply. FBI data show that in 2022, 12% of reported property crimes in all cities resulted in an arrest. In cities of more than one million people, only 4.5% of reported property crimes in 2022 resulted in an arrest.

Based on the National Crime Victimization Survey, only 42% of violent crimes, such as robberies or aggravated assaults, and 32% of property crimes, such as burglary or arson, were reported in 2022. While the Justice Department doesn't track the number of prosecutions, the percentage of arrests that resulted in a prosecution appears to have fallen that year as well.

In large cities, the arrest rate in 2022 compared with the 2015-19 average fell 38% for murders, 50% for rapes, 55% for aggravated assault and 58% for robberies.

While the rate of reported violent crime fell 2.1% between 2021 and 2022, the National Crime Victimization Survey shows that total violent crime—reported and nonreported—rose from 16.5 incidents to 23.5 per 1,000 people. Nonreported violent crime in 2022 exceeded the 2015-19 average by more than 17%.

Data reflect the scant consequences criminals face. During 2022 in cities with more than a million people, only 8.4% of all violent crimes (reported and unreported) and 1.4% of all property crimes resulted in an arrest. Not all those arrests resulted in charges.

Initial estimates cited by some news organizations show murder rates dropping 13% between 2022 and 2023. Murders usually are reported, so they don't have the same reporting flaws as other violent crimes. Yet last year's projected murder rate was still 5.51 per 100,000 people, or 7% above its 2019 level.

Law enforcement has collapsed in the U.S., particularly in big cities. With many Americans no longer confident that the legal system will protect them, some 22 million now have concealed handgun permits. Twenty-nine states have adopted constitutional-carry laws that allow citizens to carry a firearm without a permit. A Crime Prevention Research Center survey last year found that 15.6% of general-election voters carry concealed handguns all or most of the time. That's three times the level found in a 2017 Pew Research Center survey.

A recent Rasmussen Reports survey found that not everyone sees violent crime on the rise. Less than half of likely voters who earn more than $200,000 a year think it is getting worse. Yet a majority of all other income groups disagree. People of both sexes and every race also think crime is getting worse.

It isn't surprising that affluent people can insulate themselves from spikes in crime—but that doesn't mean it isn't happening. Americans aren't simply imagining that our streets have become more dangerous.

Mr. Lott is president of the Crime Prevention Research Center. He served as senior adviser for research and statistics in the Office of Justice Programs and the Office of Legal Policy at the Justice Department.

Comment the Gauleither let me post: The post clearly supports the genocidal terrorists. Asserting that arresting terrorists "act[ed] as an inspiration" for others is a non sequitur. If administrators at other schools had had terrorists arrested, then the campus takeovers would have ended by now.

Another comment the post permitted me to write: Another example of the post's support of the terrorists. There were no "clashes"; there were terrorists who refused to obey the law. If there was a "clash," that would mean that both sides were right. But that's impossible.

I'm serious. democratic prosecutors in new york are bringing a fundamentally corrupt case against Trump. maybe he needs to stop legitimizing his tormentors.

READ IN APP

The Manhattan prosecution of Donald Trump is an embarrassment to the American justice system.

Like Trump or dislike him (and as you know, I dislike him), he is neck-and-neck with Joe Biden in the 2024 Presidential election. Trying the leader of the opposition party on criminal charges is no small matter in a democracy. It should be reserved for very serious crimes - espionage, for example - with irrefutable evidence.

As I wrote Monday, this indictment is the opposite.

Trump faces 34 felony counts for the way he classified internal accounting entries. Prosecutors are relying on hyper-aggressive legal theories and making the case a referendum on Trump's 2016 victory over Hillary Clinton, which was wildly unpopular in New York. They are almost openly telling the jury to punish Trump for having won.

So what, if anything, can Trump do at this point?

The case against Trump fails on every level and twists the purpose of the statute being used against him beyond recognition.

Laws against falsifying business records are clearly meant to protect people outside a business who rely on its profit-and-loss statements in deciding whether to lend or invest in it. They're also meant to protect the business itself from employee theft.

Those rationales don't apply in this case.

No one stole from the Trump Organization. Trump did not plan to show the records to anyone else, and it wouldn't have mattered if he had. He wasn't trying to overstate his revenues or hide losses. He paid Michael Cohen $420,000 in 12 installments in 2017, partly to cover Cohen's $130,000 payment in 2016 to the porn actress Stormy Daniels, who claimed Trump had an affair with her.

Trump called the $420,000 payment to Cohen "legal services." Maybe he put it that way because he was embarrassed and didn't want to think about Daniels anymore. Maybe he thought that "legal services" broadly fit the definition of what Cohen had done. Who cares? Trump misclassified an expense in his own records.

That's the entire underlying crime the state is alleging.

(Don't take it from me. Take it from the New York Times op-ed page.)

Yet the case only gets worse from there.

Falsifying business records is a misdemeanor in New York. It can only be a felony if some underlying felony is committed and the records are falsified to hide it.

But the prosecutors have not charged Trump with any underlying felonies. Though they have referred to a conspiracy by Trump to influence the 2016 election, they have not specified - not even now, not even with the trial underway - what the alleged underlying felony might be.

And, as I pointed out Monday, the actual underlying charges all relate to business records that Trump and his company created AFTER the election.

But wait, there's more!

It is not even clear that Trump's effort to keep Daniels quiet before the election - even if that effort somehow could be legally viewed as part of a conspiracy that extended to the creation of the business records in 2017 - broke ANY New York state laws.

And Matthew Colangelo, the prosecutor who made the opening statement against Trump, was a top Justice Department official until late 2022, when he joined the Manhattan district attorney's office as "senior counsel."

Going from a top federal post to a local prosecutor's office is not a normal midcareer move. Then again, if Colangelo had stayed at Justice, he wouldn't have gotten to help lead a case against Donald Trump, the man that Joe Biden, Colangelo's top boss at Justice, calls a threat to democracy. Convenient.

The picture should be clear.

This prosecution is the opposite of one that should be brought against a major Presidential candidate. It is weak, legally twisted, and overtly political. And the prosecution is framing it more or less openly as an way to punish Trump for having won in 2016.

It should never have reached a jury. But - in Manhattan, where local judges come in two flavors, liberal and leftist - it has.

This case is not like the other criminal indictments Trump faces. Those all have flaws, and the Georgia case is particularly troubled, thanks to Fani Willis's personal antics. But what is happening in Manhattan right now is impossible to square with the rule of law.

Maybe Donald Trump needs to make clear that he will no longer participate in it in the most basic way possible - by giving up any effort in his own defense.

Maybe he needs to fire his lawyers and sit mute and quiet and alone at the defense table until he is convicted, and then dare the judge to sentence him to prison as a first-time 77-year-old nonviolent offender for a business records violation.

This tack is unrealistic, of course, if not outright impossible.

It would go against Trump's instincts, which are to shout and fight at every opportunity. I am not even sure if the judge would allow him to dismiss his counsel mid-case. And presumably his lawyers would tell him he's crazy to do so, that he needs to create a record for appeal.

Yet nothing is more powerful than the innocent defendant who refuses to participate in the spectacle of his own humiliation, who simply says: this game is rigged and I will not play.

Donald Trump, quiet and dignified, awaiting a fate he does not deserve.

Wouldn't that be something?
