evidence: In a June 15 speech at "The People’s Convention" in Detroit, Trump said, "Joe Biden is out the other day trying to claim that crime is down. But actually, crime is way up. They don’t report crime properly anymore, as you probably have heard. Crooked Joe is citing statistics that no longer include data from 30 percent of the country, including the biggest and most violent cities." [...] When the 2021 data collection process was complete, the information submitted to the FBI reflected data covering about 65% of the nation’s population. This meant about 35% of the population was not covered that year, including such major cities as New York City and Los Angeles. [...] Even if New York hadn’t been reflected in FBI data, Trump would be wrong to lump it in with the nation’s "most violent cities," said Ernesto Lopez, a research specialist with the Council on Criminal Justice. New York "tends to have a lower homicide rate compared to other major cities, so that is not likely an issue," Lopez said.
