The article notes a major uptick from 2019 to 2020, and then refers to declines from 2021 to 2023.
What about from 2019 to 2023? It could be simultaneously true that violent crime is dropping and that it remains above a baseline from 4-5 years ago (which would likely also affect perception). So is it?
- colechristensen 3y agoThere were more murders in the US in 2023 than in 2019. https://www.axios.com/2023/12/28/us-murder-violent-crime-rates-drop https://www.axios.com/2023/12/28/us-murder-violent-crime-rat... There were more murders in 2023 than any year 2009-2019. So we're down from the COVID highs, but still higher than any other year since 2008.
