READ HERE: Stealth Edit: FBI Quietly Revises Violent Crime Stats Higher
It’s no secret that the Biden-Harris administration has been lying to us – publishing positive economic data that they tout, while quietly revising lower months later after achieving their desired result.
Now we find out that they’ve also been lying about crime statistics – something that author John R. Lott has been tracking and covering extensively.

- Media Push Misleading Crime Stats To Protect Democrat Narrative
Now we find they’ve been lying about crime stats too.
In September 2023, the FBI released the “final” crime data for 2022 – showing that the nation’s violent crime rate fell by 2.1% – which Democrats used to counter Donald Trump’s claims that crime has been soaring.
Now we find that the FBI has quietly revised those numbers – and that crime actually increased by 4.5% in 2022 (4.9% in absolute terms)…
Breaking it down by type of crime, we see that property crime and larceny/theft were the top changes, followed by aggravated assault, burglary, rape, and motor vehicle theft.
And of course, the Bureau made absolutely no mention of these revisions in their September 2024 press release.
