Before the current staged riots which have increased crime rates for 2020 in major cities, crime was decreasing. (Nine police have been shot in St. Louis since the death of George Floyd) That must have made some CEOs of victim groups like BLM and ANTIFA very uncomfortable. It made Trump look good. Here's what happened in 2019--fewer women were assaulted and the cities were safer than 2018:
The rate of violent crime excluding simple assault declined 15% from 2018 to 2019, from 8.6 to 7.3 victimizations per 1,000 persons age 12 or older.
Among females, the rate of violent victimization excluding simple assault fell 27% from 2018 to 2019.
There were 880,000 fewer victims of serious crimes (generally felonies) in 2019 than in 2018, a 19% drop.
From 2018 to 2019, 29% fewer black persons and 22% fewer white persons were victims of serious crimes.
The rate of violent victimization in urban areas—based on the NCVS's new classifications of urban, suburban, and rural areas—declined 20% from 2018 to 2019.
