As the 2024 presidential election approaches, crime and safety continue to rank high on voters’ minds. But the two presumptive nominees have offered dramatically different accounts of crime trends, and come to opposite conclusions about whether people are more or less safe than they were four years ago. — The dispute started after President Joe Bidenreleased a statement touting a new quarterly report from the FBI showing dramatic crime rate reductions between 2023 and 2024. Experts say the decline is real, but that the interpretation of the numbers is likely exaggerated.
