Looks like it's just recovering from Covid to the average it was before...

@Viper its not even a statistic of crime lol. its just an opinion poll of preceived crime which, in of itself, can be manipulated by the pollster.

@Viper are you serious? Look up types of crimes individually: domestic abuse, larceny, petty theft, it's all going up.
NoahB · 31-35, M
@LavenderTown incorrect. even the police say crime is down

@NoahB opinions doesn't mean it is happening! Nor surging!

If what you said is true, that title is BS and wrong!

@LavenderTown Look at the graph that was presented in the original post! That's what I'm referring to! And that was the subject of this post.


Based on the subject at hand (that (poorly designed) graph), no one can say my comment is wrong (based on that graph).

yep. plus that graph isn't even of actual crime. just perceived crime rates. its very intentionally made to look like actual crime though imo. i've attached a link to actual data of crimes from the same statistics source here
