It’s not realistic, or IMO necessary, to put more into it than the original claim does, besides bringing actual sources to the table.
If the original claim is that crime is really up but it doesn’t show in the official figures because of subtle factors X Y and Z, then sure, a fact check saying this is wrong needs to dive in and explain why those factors don’t account for it.
But if it’s just “crime is up 87% since Biden took office” then “actually, crime is down N% in that period, see link from relevant stats agency here” is fine.
The latter is about a million times more common.
