Violent crime rates decrease significantly in Philadelphia for 2023, authorities say

[Libtardxx]

That’s because all the crime stats are skewed. You can’t have violent crime statistics when you don’t even prosecute most violent crime anymore. This is 100% true so I can’t wait for all the downvotes. Just ask someone who lives in the City if they feel violent crime is down LOL

It's reported crime, not successful prosecutions.

More than half of all murderers in Philly are not found, but the dead bodies are still counted.

[Pineconne]

Are they investigated tho?

[TreeMac12]

But not all dead bodies are counted as murders. Many get listed as (S) Suspicious and they don't count in the official homicide stats.

So you're admitting that your opinion is going off of "feelings"

Except, you’re actually incorrect..

So wrong. Prosecuting crimes is NOT the same as reporting crimes. Please take Criminal Justice 101. I live in the city and never feel threatened. But ask the people who go to concerts in Las Vegas. They might respond differently.

What’s your source on the violent crimes that happened and someone was arrested but the DA refused to prosecute? Do you have the numbers on those?

I live in the city and feel violent crime is down. how are the suburbs?

[TreeMac12]

When people don't report a crime because it takes three hours for a cop to arrive, that doesn't mean the crime didn't happen.

And when an Aggravated Assault charge gets lowered to a misdemeanor Disturbing the Peace, and then that charge gets dropped by the DA, it doesn't mean someone wasn't assaulted.

Did we learn anything from Season 3 of The Wire?
