FBI Quietly Revises Violent Crime Data

Even weeks after the revised numbers were released, the FBI hadn’t bothered to explain the change.

The FBI quietly released revised numbers recently that reveal that rather than decreasing by 2.1%, violent crime in 2022 actually increased by 4.5%.

According to original research conducted by John Lott, president of the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC), the adjustments represent a net increase of 80,029 more violent crimes, including 1,699 more murders, 7,780 more rapes, 33,459 more robberies and 37,091 more aggravated assaults.
