FBI data to show that murders are falling. We have previously reported the problems with the FBI violent and property compared to the National Crime Victimization Survey data (here and here). But it turns out that the FBI murder data also differs from the CDC homicide data. While the media focuses on how the FBI data shows a 6.6% drop in murders from 2020 to 2022, the CDC shows a slight 0.5% increase. Compared to the five pre-2020 COVID years, the FBI shows a 20.8% increase by 2022 compared to a 27.9% increase for the CDC. These are significant differences, particularly since the CDC data makes it difficult for the news media to claim that at least through 2022 that homicides are declining.
The FBI data shows the peak in 2020, with drops in 2021 and 2022, while the CDC shows the peak in 2021, with 2022 still higher than the year (2020) that the FBI claims was the peak.
