As we’ve identified many occasions, the U.S. Division of Justice has two measures of crime: the FBI measure of reported crime and the Bureau of Justice Statistics measure of whole crime. The connection between these two measures is kind of surprising for the Biden administration, the place the FBI’s reported measure signifies that crime fell, however the BJS’s measure of whole crime reveals a rise. The BJS numbers don’t embody homicide, however whereas murders are probably the most critical kind of violent crime, they solely make up about 1% of whole reported violent crime.
