- ImJamal 2y ago> The FBI doesn’t simply count reported crimes. Instead, it offers estimates by extrapolating data from police departments that report only partial-year data. The Bureau also makes estimates for cities that report no data. It seems like this is quite a problem. How can you expect any sort of accurate numbers if you are just guessing what the numbers are?
