This was debunked in studies in another thread a couple of days agoSorry, but just because somebody YOU label as an expert launches some study doesn't allow you to claim "debunking" anything. The conclusion that you posted is ludicrous on its face.
This particular part - from your link - is especially silly:
https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2022/10/31...Annual government surveys from the Bureau of Justice Statistics show no recent increase in the U.S. violent crime rate.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH. Debunked, my left butt cheek.
https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/law-just...Seattle violent crime hits 15-year high, and 4 more takeaways from new report
Last year saw the highest violent crime rate in 15 years, with an increase of 729 incidents per 100,000 residents in 2021 compared to 736 per 100,000 residents last year.
Crime rates represent the number of crimes reported relative to the size of the city's population. The actual number of violent crimes reported increased about 4% from 2021 to 2022, according to the report.
The increase in crime overall reflects the spike in violent crime that began in 2020 and shows little sign of dropping back to pre-pandemic levels. Homicides increased by 24% and aggravated assault totals continue to be the highest reported in the last 10 years. The majority of homicide victims died from gun violence.And this is just what people report. A lot of property isn't being reported right now Because, Why? No one's there to investigate it.
Huh. So much for "debunked".
Again, tell me you live in a suburban blue bubble without telling me you live in a suburban blue bubble.
