DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—The Federal Bureau of Investigation quietly revised its national crime data for 2022, showing that violent crime actually increased instead of decreased, as was initially reported, according to RealClearInvestigations. The FBI Uniform Crime Report initially showed a slight 2.1% decrease in violent crime from 2021 to 2022, however, the revision, which was only briefly mentioned on its website, shows an increase in violent crime of 4.5%, according to RealClearInvestigations. The revision comes after the release of the 2023 Uniform Crime Report data in September, which showed a 3% decrease in national violent crime, according to an FBI press release. “I have checked the data on total violent crime from 2004 to 2022,” Carl Moody, professor at the College of William & Mary who specializes in crime, told RealClearInvestigations. “There were no revisions from 2004 to 2015, and from 2016 to 2020, there were small changes of less than one percentage point. The huge changes in 2021 and 2022, especially without an explanation, make it difficult to trust the FBI data.” The change is only discoverable when downloading the new set of data now and comparing it to the old, with the FBI issuing no statement reflecting the change, RealClearInvestigations reported. The post-release change is similar to the revisions the Bureau of Labor Statistics does for its jobs numbers, which overestimated the amount of jobs in America in 2023 by an average of 105,000 a month. “The [FBI’s] processes, such as how it tries to ‘estimate’ unreported figures, has long been a black box, even to the Bureau of Justice Statistics—the Department of Justice’s actual statistical agency,” Jeffrey Anderson, who headed the Bureau of Justice Statistics from 2017 to 2021, told RealClearInvestigations. “We definitely would have highlighted in a press release or a report the 6.6% change recorded for 2022, which moved the numbers from a drop to a rise in violent crime.” The Bureau of Justice Statistics releases its own measure of crime called the National Crime Victimization Survey, which reported a rise in violent crime victimizations in 2022, according to the report summary. The National Crime Victimization Survey is a national survey that also accounts for unreported crimes, unlike the FBI Uniform Crime Report data, which relies on reported crimes to police departments around the nation. “With the media using the 2022 FBI data to tell us for a year that crime was falling, it is disappointing that there are no news articles correcting that misimpression,” Moody told RealClearInvestigations. “We will have to see whether the FBI later also revises the 2023 numbers.” The FBI did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Brown has been a vocal supporter of former president Trump throughout the current election cycle. The former football star said he would officially endorse Trump, back in May, during an interview with OutKick’s Nick Adams, praising the former president’s background and contributions to figures in the Hip-Hop industry. “I’ve never met him. I’ve got admiration for his business moves and I study his dad, Fred Trump. But, I think Donald Trump is a good businessman and come[s] from a good family and has been a good president,” Brown said. “I think he does some great things for my brothers in the music industry in regards to Lil Wayne, Kodak [Black].”
