Former U.S. Attorney Jay Town exposes the misleading data behind Biden's assertions of declining crime rates, highlighting incomplete reporting, statistical manipulation, and a selective focus on nonviolent crimes to conceal a broader rise in crime under the current administration.
In the realm of political rhetoric, President Biden and his allies have painted a rosy picture of crime reduction in America, repeatedly citing statistics to support their claims. However, a deeper examination of the data reveals a sophisticated smokescreen designed to obscure the grim reality of increasing crime rates under their leadership.
Former U.S. Attorney Jay Town, a seasoned prosecutor with decades of experience, has sounded the alarm about the incomplete and misleading nature of the crime data used by the Biden administration. He points out that only 69% of law enforcement agencies nationwide reported crime statistics in 2022, a significant decline from previous years. This incomplete data raises concerns about the reliability and accuracy of the crime rates being cited.

Moreover, Town highlights the fact that the FBI's requirement for more granular crime data has led to a statistical distortion. Cities with large police departments, such as New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, have chosen to either stop reporting crime data or manipulate the statistics to obscure the true extent of crime in their jurisdictions. This cherry-picking of data further undermines the validity of the crime rates being touted by the Biden administration.
Town also draws attention to the discrepant reporting of crime victims by the Department of Justice (DOJ) under Biden. Despite the administration's claims of declining crime, the DOJ reports indicate a 42% increase in violent crime victims and a 15% rise in property crime victims from 2021 to 2022. This surge in crime victims contradicts the administration's narrative and raises questions about the true state of public safety.

Furthermore, Town points out the decline in arrests during Biden's tenure. Under Trump, an average of 2.7 million arrests were made annually, while under Biden, that number has dropped to 1.9 million, a 30% decrease. This paradox of increasing crime victims and fewer arrests defies logical explanation and undermines the administration's claims of effective crime control.
The administration's selective focus on nonviolent crimes also distorts the overall picture of crime. While acknowledging that nonviolent crime victims outnumber violent crime victims, the administration conveniently ignores the rise in property crimes, including motor vehicle thefts, which have increased by 30% under Biden.

Town concludes that the Biden administration's celebration of incomplete and manipulated crime data is an intentional distraction designed to mislead the American people. By casting a veil of optimism over the true state of crime, the administration hopes to conceal its failures in addressing the escalating crime rates that plague the nation. This "blue herring" tactic serves to divert attention away from the real issues and create a false sense of security.
In conclusion, former U.S. Attorney Jay Town's analysis reveals the deceptive nature of the Biden administration's crime reduction claims. Incomplete data, statistical manipulation, and selective reporting have been employed to create a distorted picture of reality. The true extent of crime in America under Biden is far more alarming than the rosy narrative being spun by the administration, and the public deserves to be fully informed about the safety of their communities.
