“Donald Trump has not been shy about his strategy for reelection: every opportunity he gets — at his rallies and speeches, during media appearances and even the presidential debate — Trump depicts America as a nation beset by an out-of-control crime wave enabled by Democratic policies. But his stark portrayals do not match the actual crime problem. At this point, American crime rates are at worst stable, resuming pre-2020 levels, and at best falling, consistent with a longer pattern of declining crime rates since the 1990s.” (11/04/24)
