Crime rates are largely inaccurate since 2021: https://www.themarshallproject.org/2023/07/13/fbi-crime-rates-data-gap-nibrs https://www.themarshallproject.org/2023/07/13/fbi-crime-rate... Politicians and certain news sources are of course taking advantage of this, reporting how much crime is "down" when all anecdotal evidence in front of our faces shows the opposite. Crime is not down - there is just a huge reporting gap in the data.

That's why I specifically said "prior to covid". Moreover what's your point here? People were wrong for 3 decades, but because they turned out to be right eventually it's fine? Seems dubious. After all, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
