Does anybody have a clue about WTFH ""fixed noise" is talking about with "fbi

crime stats" this morning? I was looking for something on google, and up pops a faux snooze video about how the fbi has "quietly" redone their crime stats to show that crime has actually risen dramatically during the Biden-Harris admin, but nobody has the guts to talk about it except brave ruzzian propaganda network fake news.

11. FBI Response to Inquiry from KC Star

“In response to your inquiry regarding the FBI’s crime statistics, please see the following statement which is attributable to the FBI:

“The FBI stands behind each of our Crime in the Nation publications. In 2022, the estimated violent crime rate decreased 1.7 percent from 2021. The FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program transitioned from the traditional Summary Reporting System (SRS) to the more comprehensive National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) for the 2021 data collection year. A significant number of agencies were unable to complete the transition to NIBRS in 2021. Due to the lower volume of participation, the FBI was unable to produce the traditional national estimates for 2021. To provide a confident comparison of crime trends across the nation, the UCR Program performed a NIBRS estimation crime trend analysis. The analysis used NIBRS estimation data of violent and property crimes from 2020 and 2021. In 2022, the FBI resumed collecting SRS data in addition to NIBRS to present nationally representative data. In order to compile reliable estimates for the yearly trend, the FBI used a statistical sampling of 2021 data to augment the 2021 information collected via NIBRS for the 2022 publication.

“September’s release of Crime in the Nation, 2023, was the first phase in the FBI’s efforts to provide the public with more timely data. The next phase will see a shift to monthly data releases to promote transparency and provide an opportunity for consumers to review data based on more timely crime counts with the understanding that data will be continuously updated. As part of this movement, the FBI has moved towards automation, allowing for past years’ estimates to be updated as data are submitted. Therefore, 2021 counts now showing in the 20-year estimation tables reflect only estimates based on the data directly reported to the FBI. This explains why the figure appears different than the computed estimation published in the Crime in the Nation, 2022. “

“Best regards,

“National Press Operations Unit

“Office of Public Affairs

“Federal Bureau of Investigation”
