The headline was rhetorical. From the “Council on Criminal Justice” cited in the graphic: “The US homicide rate peaked in 1980 at 10.2 per 100,000 people. After falling then rising to another peak in 1991, the rate dropped to a low in 2014 similar to levels in the mid-1960s. An upward trend began in 2015, however, and homicide increased by 30% from 2019 to 2020, the largest single-year increase since 1960. After a small increase in 2021, the rate decreased 9% in 2022 to 6.3 per 100,000 people.”
That was their December 2023 report. So the spike really happened under Trump and receded partially since Biden took office. Not much of a “crime crisis” with a lower homicide rate.
