When President Biden walks to the podium to deliver the State of the Union on Thursday, he plans to celebrate large drops in crime over the past year, but that's not the experience of people living in high-crime cities such as Washington, Memphis and Dallas.
plans to celebrate large drops in crime during his State of the Union address on Thursday, but that doesn’t reflect the experiences of people in cities such as the District of Columbia,has gone on the offensive against Republicans who say Democratic policies have sparked a national crime wave. He met with big-city police chiefs at the White House and traveled to the southern border to try to change the narrative about crime.’s argument is a crime analysis by AH Datalytics that revealed an 11.
Jeff Asher, who co-founded AH Datalytics, noted that homicides in 2023 were up by more than double digits from 2019 but said the focus should be on the dramatic decline in recent years. Even cities boasting about sharp declines in homicides last year have numbers well above 2019 levels. Homicides in Chicago dropped 13% from 2022 to 2023 but were 23% higher than in 2019, according to city data.
The Biden administration maintained that violent crime rates declined because of its $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package, which boosted funding for local police departments and created job opportunities for youths in underserved communities. Despite the reduction in violent crime from 2022, 63% of Americans say the crime problem in the U.S. is either extremely or very serious, up from 54% in 2021, according to a Gallup poll released late last year. More than 77% of Americans said the country had more crime in 2023 than in 2022, the poll found.
