Is crime actually up by much?
Also "news" sources aren't required to tell the truth because something something entertainment something something no reasonable person would believe us.
The most rational economic system in action!
It's enough that it's got the talking heads on the msm spinning it that it is, which is why I brought it up.
I wouldn't trust them, or local police. Afaik the FBI is the least sketchy source of crime stats, and then maybe there are some independent researchers that are okayish.
I think it is slightly but it’s up from being the lowest of all time
I don't know about crime generally, but retail has seen dramatic staffing cuts and as a result, shoplifting is up for sure. No data, just reporting from the ground. It's not a problem when they're subtle, but the assholes who push you around to get to the liquor are stressful.
It's hard to generalize, but I think violent crime is falling from the recent spike, while property crime is stable or even up a little (shoplifting, as you said).
