NEW: FBI updates crime statistics showing that violent crime *increased* not decreased.
Trump was fact-checked during the debate after he (correctly) asserted that crime had increased.
New data reveals violent crime increased in 2022 by 4.5%, not decreased like the left claimed.
Violent crimes in 2022: There were 80,029 more violent crimes compared to 2021.
This included an additional:
- 1,699 m*rders
- 7,780 r*pes
- 33,459 robberies
- 37,091 aggravated assaults
A significant portion of crimes remain unreported.
According to the National Crime Victimization Survey, only about 45% of violent crimes and 30% of property crimes are reported to the police.
