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.

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].”

The agency classified the recall as Class II, which ‘involves a health hazard situation where there is a remote probability of adverse health consequences from use of the product.’ For example, unknowingly drinking a full-sugar beverage could exacerbate conditions like diabetes, where sugar intake has to be carefully monitored. The affected drinks included cartons with the codes: FEB1725CNA or FEB1725CNB. The UPC code is 0 25000 12115 9. Read the FDA alert HERE.

Kamala Harris is facing new allegations of plagiarism this week over 27 separate passages from her 2009 book ‘Smart on Crime.’ Here is the full 47-page dossier, prepared by famed Austrian "plagiarism hunter" Stefan Weber. Anyone can read it and come to the conclusion that Kamala Harris plagiarized her book, Smart on Crime. https://t.co/7KvwbzqTOS— Christopher F. Rufo (@realchrisrufo) October 15, 2024 The Washington Post is advancing the argument that Kamala Harris didn't really plagiarize because she wrote her book "when electronic research became more common." In other words, it's not her fault that she was too dim to understand how to use a computer or add quotation marks. pic.twitter.com/d3jLE1brh8— Christopher F. Rufo (@realchrisrufo) October 16, 2024 EXCLUSIVE: Kamala Harris plagiarized at least a dozen sections of her criminal-justice book, Smart on Crime, according to a new investigation. The current vice president even lifted material from Wikipedia.We have the receipts. — Christopher F. Rufo (@realchrisrufo) October 14, 2024 From CNN: Christopher Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank, on Monday cited in an online post an analysis by so-called Austrian plagiarism hunter Stefan Weber, alleging Harris lifted “verbatim language” from uncited sources in “Smart on Crime,” which she co-wrote with Joan O’C. Hamilton. The book – published in 2009, the year before Harris was elected California attorney general – focuses on policy drawing from her experience prosecuting crimes that ranged from child sexual assault to homicide in Alameda County and San Francisco. Rufo, in his post, refers to six specific paragraphs from Harris’ roughly 200-page book. CNN reviewed several of the passages highlighted by Rufo and found that Harris and O’C. Hamilton failed to properly attribute language to sources. Plagiarized works include using someone else’s work without giving them proper and appropriate credit for their ideas and words. Even if the source of the information is cited, it is still considered plagiarism if the ideas are not paraphrased or quoted in the correct place, experts told CNN late last year.
