This chart is up to 2024. If you look up 2025 and 2026 data for the US you will see that it has continued to decline YoY.
Judging by your comment I assume that you have personally witnessed some criminality recently and are drawing conclusions about the entire US, if so I’m sorry you had to endure that, but that doesn’t mean that your conclusions apply to the general trend in the US as the GP was referring to.

I agree the data says that. Also weird that as long as the people responsible for statistics were replaced by new appointees the data shifted direction almost immediately. What could have been going there?
Maybe just a coincidence. I'm sure it is just a coincidence. For real
hmm would need to at least adjust for the ageing population. how grandpa gonna beat yo ass?
Sure, sure, just a major metropolitan area in the midwest and not a barometer for anything at all. One would think that either stats are misleading or my population sample is wrong.
But I have no need to convince anyone. It is just weird to me that I need to explain the obvious.
