I promise you that major cities have stopped reporting crime to the FBI. At least one major city hid lack of crime response under administrative labels. The FBI data is based on voluntary reporting by individual law enforcement agencies, and last year, half of US police departments, including those in big cities such as Los Angeles and New York, failed to submit data for 2021. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/22/us-crime-stats-warning-experts-fbi https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/22/us-crime-sta... Seven months after the May 2023, assault, Houston police classified the incident as “suspended – lack of personnel,” an internal label placed on tens of thousands of incidents over the past decade. The classification perplexed Hill, who felt the matter had been long settled. https://houstonlanding.org/did-hpd-neglect-suspended-cases-we-asked-24-crime-victims-about-their-experience/ https://houstonlanding.org/did-hpd-neglect-suspended-cases-w...

"to the FBI" is a much narrower claim, and assaults aren't homicides. It is not suprising to me that some assaults would not be followed-up on; that's why homicide rates are much more interesting. Numbers for the missing NYC, for example, are hardly difficult to dig up. https://abc7ny.com/nypd-crime-shootings-murders/14259597/ https://abc7ny.com/nypd-crime-shootings-murders/14259597/ > The NYPD released some statistics about safety in New York City during 2023. The number of murders and shootings in the city both decreased last year and are continuing to track downward following the pandemic. New York City had 386 homicides last year, according to new NYPD data, an 11.9% decrease from 2022.
