(TheRedAlertNews.com) – In a new case of the federal government deluding the nation with data painting the Biden-Harris administration in a better light than deserved, the FBI has practically admitted to having lied about violent crime statistics.

Thus, a significant revision by the FBI reveals a 4.5% rise in violent crime in 2022, contrary to prior claims of a decrease.
This startling update has raised serious doubts about the integrity of crime data presentation under the current administration.
The FBI’s 2022 crime report initially showed a 2.1% decrease in violent crime, but a quiet revision later revealed an actual increase of 4.5%.
A total of 80,029 more violent crimes occurred compared to the previous year, with alarming spikes in murders, rapes, robberies, and aggravated assaults.
According to RealClear Investigations, the FBI failed to formally announce these revisions, choosing instead to update their website in silence.
This lack of transparency has sparked widespread criticism and concern, questioning the Bureau’s credibility.
Experts argue that the FBI should explain the methodology and reasoning behind these drastic statistical changes.
Correct crime data is undeniably essential for policy-making and public perception. An inaccurate portrayal of crime statistics can lead to misguided policies affecting crime control and prevention nationwide.
David Mustard, a professor at the University of Georgia specializing in crime research, criticized the revision process as “stunning,” stating that the lack of a press release harmed the Bureau’s credibility.
“I have checked the data on total violent crime from 2004 to 2022,” Carl Moody, a professor at the College of William & Mary who specializes in studying crime, told RealClearInvestigations.
“There were no revisions from 2004 to 2015, and from 2016 to 2020, there were small changes of less than one percentage point. The huge changes in 2021 and 2022, especially without an explanation, make it difficult to trust the FBI data,” he explained.
The FBI’s crime estimation process involves extrapolating data from partial-year reports and making estimates for non-reporting cities.
This method clearly risks significant inaccuracies, as demonstrated by these latest revisions.
The FBI’s claim of a 3.5% decrease in violent crime for 2023 contrasts sharply with the National Crime Victimization Survey’s reported 4.1% increase, further spotlighting discrepancies.
The revised data struggles to reflect any real improvement in violent crime rates since pre-COVID days, aligning closer with the NCVS’s findings of a 19% increase.
This inconsistency calls the FBI’s data-gathering practices into question and demands greater accountability from the agency.
“It is up to the FBI to explain what they have done, and they haven’t explained these large changes,” said Dr. Thomas Marvell, president of Justec Research.
Crime is up. Especially violent crime, a lot, 4.5%.
Be careful out there. https://t.co/S81IegDKkN
