Nope. It's on its way down towards pre-covid levels, but still (by the article's estimate for 2023) 10% higher than pre-covid.

Such a bad headline. Look at the raw data at https://cde.ucr.cjis.gov/LATEST/webapp/#/pages/explorer/crim...

Pre-covid, around 4.5 - 5.5 per 100k ppl per year.

2020 jumped up to 6.5

2021 up to 6.8

2022 down to 6.3 - AMAZING DROP!

2023 ~5.5 (based on estimated 12% drop)- AMAZING DROP!!! WHY AREN'T PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH CRIME IS GOING DOWN!?!?!

Hard to tell how much of this is simply inept journalism, and how much is fed by a broken incentive system.
